The Bokkeveld shale Syrah is comparatively dense and grippy - more Cornas than Côte Rôtie, if you want a Rhône Valley comparison - so is bold enough to soak up 100% new wood.

This is extremely aromatic, at once salty and floral, exuding aromas of violets, green olives, seaweed, mulberries, cumin and rosewater. The fruit is singing too.

The bouquet instantly seduces with black fruit, cracked black pepper, rosemary and thyme. It is understated, yet the aromatics possess real presence. This is just a delicious Syrah.
