Experience a true expression of the rugged Swartland landscape in this bottling. The Riebeeksrivier Syrah is a flagship wine from the Cape of Good Hope range. It captures the unique intensity of high-altitude, mountainous vineyards. A concentrated aroma profile displays dark berries and violets. Powerful, earthy notes of graphite and tobacco leaf also emerge. The structure is firm yet beautifully elegant on the palate. A savoury and spicy complexity provides depth and interest. Long-lasting, dry tannins carry a persistent finish. This complex and full-bodied red wine speaks clearly of its Riebeeksrivier terroir.
