Tamboerskloof Syrah 2018

A bright clear medium ruby colour. A medium intensity nose, starting with violets evolving into blackberry and bramble. The wine is youthful, yet has a touch of spice from freshly crushed black pepper and liquorice. The palate is refreshing with a fine grained tannin adding weight to the mid-pallet. A juicy, yet elegant wine with good concentration.

The grapes were picked by hand into lug boxes weighing roughly 17kg each. Grapes were sorted three times before proceeding to stainless steel tanks and transported, without pumping, into the fermentation vessels. A combination of old-style winemaking techniques with modern technology takes care of creating our unique hand crafted wine. Fermented at 24-26.5°C for 11-16 days.

Barrel maturation for 18 month in 300lt and 500lt French oak barrels, 15% first fill and the remainder in older barrels.
