Secure your bottle of the exceptional Intellego Syrah 2023. This vintage is a pure expression of Swartland terroir. Winemaker Jurgen Gouws achieved remarkable elegance and length. The wine is made from two carefully chosen vineyard parcels. It is a light yet compact red. This Syrah shows a classic, savoury profile.
This is an elite vintage for this Syrah. Esteemed critic Christian Eedes awarded the Intellego Syrah 2023 a phenomenal 94/100 rating. This score confirms its status as a world-class, top-tier South African Syrah. The wine is highly sought after by collectors.
The blend is mostly Abbotsdale fruit, with a 10% granite component. The 100% whole-bunch fermentation lends complexity. The nose offers red and black berries alongside notes of olive and violets. Look for fynbos and white pepper. The palate is light yet compact. It shows good freshness and super-fine tannins. The finish is elegant and notably long.
The wine is incredibly food-friendly. Pair it with lamb or grilled, herb-rubbed poultry.
