Mid ruby red, the nose is an array of black raspberry, crushed black peppercorns, wild lavender, dried orange peel, sea spray and rosemary fronds yet in between lie swashes of sexy Madagascan vanilla pod and milled Columbian coffee grounds. Surprisingly full-bodied there is a tightness to the structure; fine powdery texture and density to the sweet yet grippy tannins. There is a fabulous acid tension alongside giving the wine length and depth of flavour. Fruits veer from spiced lemon zest, Japanese green pepper, tapenade, brine, roasted meats, savoury earth and soft dark berried fruit. Still youthful this wine has oodles of complexity and concentration to go for another 6-12 years as the tannin resolve.

Varietal: Syrah

The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.

Country: South Africa

Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.
