Product information "Boekenhoutskloof Syrah 2016"
The Boekenhoutskloof Syrah is truly a masterpiece among the best Syrahs the Cape has to offer! Its seductive and complex bouquet of dark berry fruit, black olives, floral perfumes and fine spices brings immense pleasure even when poured. Hints of blackberries and fragrant violets are in the air and merge deliciously into a full and rounded palate that ensnares the senses with intense nuances of Christmas baking spices, liquorice and black pepper. On the middle palate, a remarkable concentration and a captivating focus opens up. Pressed in the classic Rhône style, this Syrah impresses with a well-integrated acidity and fine-grained, firm tannins for remarkable balance and structure. The spicy finish is characterized by fine notes of cloves, nutmeg and cardamom as well as subtle shrubby hints. A wine to indulge in!

The grapes for this Syrah come from three different vineyards and, due to their individual characteristics, are separately sorted, destemmed, lightly crushed and vinified. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in concrete vats, after which the wines mature in large traditional 2500 litre barrels for up to 18 months before being blended.
