Information about "Tembela Syrah 2024"
The Tembela Syrah 2024 captivates with a bouquet of wild herbs, black pepper, and violets, harmoniously intertwined with luscious notes of red and black fruits. On the palate, this wine displays a vibrant, medium-bodied character, marked by exhilarating freshness and lively movement. A touch of whole clusters adds an earthy, spicy nuance to the long-lasting finish.
Its grapes are sourced 80% from the sandy, weathered granite soils of the Polkadraai Hills, imparting natural minerality and freshness, while the remaining 20% hails from the Jakkalsfontein vineyard on the Paardeberg in Swartland. The 2024 vintage proved exceptional for Syrah, yielding an intense color – the darkest Syrah crafted by winemaker Banele Vakele to date. The watercolor label pays tribute to his mother, Tembela, depicting her prominently with a basket on her head, while a second woman in the background symbolizes community and heritage.
Die Trauben wurden an verschiedenen Tagen geerntet und in den Keller von Savage Wines gebracht, wo Banele seine Weine in Salt River ausbaut. In diesem Jahr blieben 80 % der Traubenrispen unversehrt, der Rest wurde entrappt. Während der Gärung in offenen Gärbehältern erfolgten etwa zwei Unterstöße pro Tag. Nach etwa 10 Tagen wurde der Wein in alte 500-Liter-Fässer überführt und für 10 Monate zur Reifung gelagert. Anschließend wurde er durch eine Blattfiltration geleitet, mit einer kleinen Schwefelzugabe versehen und abgefüllt. Eine Schönung fand nicht statt.
