Deep ruby red colour. A complex, dense blackberry fruit and beguiling exotic spices on the nose with some liquorice and black olive tapenade notes and a touch of balsamic soaked rosemary and eucalyptus leaves. The nose seamlessly carries through to the palate with all the flavours vying for attention with an intense, firm palate with a long smooth texture and a brilliant saline quality to the fine finish.

Syrah and Touriga Nacional were once again the stars of the vintage. I selected the best of 2 or 3 barrels of each and played around with various blends of the two. In the end I settled on a high percentage of Syrah and when I taste the wine now I still can't believe the percentage of Touriga Nacional is only 15%. I looked at what else we could add to improve the wine and when the 2014 vintage was ready to be assess, again I looked at what options we had to improve along the lines of the multi vintage 1st Edition, but what we has was just right

A beautiful pioneering wine estate in the middle of nowhere at the end of a long, dusty, bumpy road at the Southern tip of Africa. When David and Rita Trafford visited the Malgas region for the first time in 2000, they were blown away with the incredible soils specifically in the Lemoentuin area and immediately set about finding a suitable property to purchase. Today, Sijnn Wines are grown in Malgas along the Breede River - the only first growth appellation in the region.
