Carinus
Danie and Hugo Carinus have taken some liberty in calling their wine label Carinus Family Vineyards in that they are only very distantly related. They are however good friends and grape growers who supply some of the leading producers in the country from vineyards situated in Devon Valley Polkadraai and the Swartland. Their label has been around for a few years but in 2016 inveigled rising star Lukas van Loggerenberg to oversee production with good result. From a 1981 Swartland vineyard but involving more acute viticulture and a barrel selection in the cellar.
Description
"The nose of the Syrah 2019 is very aromatic with notes of red fruit, dried herbs and pelargonium while the palate is super-light yet still possessing a good core of fruit, the acidity lively and the tannins fine, a pleasantly austere feel to the wine overall." C.E
Food Pairing
Best paired with lamb kofta or sticky short rib.
