Diemersdal Syrah

Description

With the Diemersdal Syrah, you can expect notes of violets, black berries, cherries and lavender, followed by a warming white pepper seam, mixed with some intense herbs. This Syrah has plums and cherry intensity on the palate, wrapped with soft tannins and ending with a spicy, flinty finish.

Terroir:

The vines of this beautiful wine are rooted in deep red Hutton soils on north-facing Diemersdal slopes, catching the southerly breezes of summer and the frontal Cape winds from the north in winter. Cool growing conditions and the practice of dryland farming on Diemersdal, saw the fruit develop slowly, drawing maximum variety expression on the vine. The result was tight bunches of small berries, ideal for making a wine of structure, elegance and refinement.
