Buy the highly-rated Dorrance Cuvee Ameena Syrah, an elegant red from South Africa’s first urban winery. Winemakers Christophe and Sabrina Durand craft this wine as a restrained, savoury nod to the Northern Rhône. The Cuvée Ameena is named after their daughter. Grapes are sourced from cool-climate Elgin vineyards. This 100% Syrah offers a signature svelte, silky texture.
The Dorrance Cuvee Ameena Syrah is consistently praised for its old-world finesse and complexity. It holds a strong average critic rating of 90/100 points. Past vintages have earned up to 94 points from Tim Atkin MW. This wine demonstrates world-class structure and balance.
The wine is elegant and complex. Alluring dark fruit is layered with white pepper. A rich aromatic profile offers notes of morello cherry, liquorice, and chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins. It remains approachable yet layered with spicy complexity. It finishes with a long, inherent freshness.
This refined red is perfect with pronounced flavours. Serve it with spiced rack of lamb or grilled duck breast.
