Groenekloof Syrah

Grilled lamb or grass fed beef.

Sourced from low yielding bush vines on our property in the Groenekloof ward. The soils consist of decomposed granite and clay, allowing for good physical properties. These vineyards receive no supplementary irrigation.

Aged for 16 months in 5% new, and older French puncheons of 500 l capacity. Special care is taken to maintain fruit integrity. 12% Cinsault was blended with the Shiraz.

Handpicked, crushed and fermented on skins in open top fermenters allowing punch downs and gentle pump-overs to extract colour, flavour and tannin. Malolactic fermentation in French oak puncheons.
