The 2019 Syrah on Shale The Landscape Series has a well-defined bouquet of copious red berry fruit laced with clove, bay leaf and subtle earthy tones (reminding me of Mullineux in many ways). The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced, with supple tannins and a touch of gaminess toward the elegant finish. White pepper lingers on the aftertaste. Delicious. ... More details

A harmonious red, offering rich notes of bitter cherry, warm fig and a savory touch of fleshy, herbal green olive, wrapped around sinewy tannins and a streak of stony minerality. Reveals pretty hints of milled white pepper and dried flowers on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 274 cases made, 50 cases imported.
Winery
A complex and alluring vintage that combines the savouriness of truffles, wet earth and thyme with black cherries and baked rhubarb. Grippy tannins and a salted liquorice aftertaste add a moreish texture to the finish.

green grapes

Varietal: Syrah

There are few red wine grape varietals in the world quite as versatile as that of the Shiraz/Syrah vine. These powerful darkly colored grapes are responsible for several wildly popular wines, and are used in the production of still, fortified and sparkling wines, all which carry its magnificent strong flavors very well indeed. This grape varietal is a robust one, easily adaptable to several different climates and terroirs, and yet has a strong ability to express the conditions it is grown in when it ferments and is drank. Most typically, Shiraz/Syrah wines are known for spicy flavors with a big fruity punch, and the fact that they can demonstrate the decisions made by the winemakers in their secondary flavors very clearly.

Country: South Africa

Perhaps the most famous and well respected of all the wine regions in South Africa is that of Constantia, which holds many of the oldest and most traditional wineries in the country. Here, the temperate climate receives the Atlantic winds which cool the vineyards, and the fertile soil allows the grapes to grow to full ripeness, resulting in highly flavorful wines which are enjoyed around the world. Whilst Sauvignon Blanc varietals make up the most widely exported wines of this region, the rest of the country produces a huge and impressive range of wines, made up from varietals native to many different European countries. From excellent Champagne style sparkling wines, to aromatic fortified examples, fruity reds and refreshing whites, South Africa continues to impress and surprise, with modern techniques and technologies leading the way and producing exceptional results.
