Expect alluring aromas of black berries, violets, and pepper. A pleasant leafy note and fynbos hints add to the bouquet. The palate is harmonious and beautifully sappy. It offers excellent fruit concentration and bright acidity. Appropriately firm tannins provide structure. This structured Syrah pairs perfectly with grilled red meats and lamb. Try it with rosemary-infused roasted vegetables. It is an ideal match for rich, savory dishes and hard, aged cheeses. Serve slightly chilled to highlight its freshness.
