"A Swartland red that wouldn’t look out of place in a line up from the Languedoc. Dominated by Syrah, with a supporting crew of 19% Mourvèdre, 7% Grenache and 5% Carignan, this is a blend with plenty of gas in the tank, with savoury, meaty intensity, negligible oak, sinewy tannins and a medley of black olive, fig and red plum complemented by aromas of fynbos and garrigue. 2027-33" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026, 94 points

On the palate

Blackberry, black cherry and red plum lead into fynbos, cracked black pepper and gentle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit, vibrant freshness and fine-grained tannins carrying into a long, balanced finish. For drinkers who like savoury Rhône-style reds with dark fruit, pepper and freshness, this should land well.
