The young and vibrant palate is treated to delicious oak notes as well as classic nuances of pepper - juicy pure Shiraz fruit combined with restrained old world elegance. The seamless integration of oak spice and oak tannins add immense depth and complexity to this high-dollar Syrah, providing a remarkable pleasurable experience.

The grapes were harvested by hand and sorted by hand upon arrival in the cellar. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with the addition of specially selected Rhône yeast at fermentation temperature between 24-26 ° C. The wine was pumped over every eight hours to extract maximum tannins and color. After fermentation was completed, Boschendal Grande Syrah was aged for 14 months in 300 l as well as 500 l oak barrels, of which 30% were new wood and the rest second, third as well as fourth fill wood. After aging, the various components were blended in a 2500 l barrel and the cuvée spent another six months in the barrel before being bottled.
