About this Item
This is the maiden release of this fast becoming cult wine. It is produced from a single vineyard on the western slope of the Riebeeksrivier 'côte' that produces extraordinarily concentrated, small berries which translates into a wine of both power and finesse; much like the famous wines of the Northern Rhône. This region is known for its exceptional vineyards that form part of some of SA's most prestigious Syrah-based wines.

Critics Ratings
'Bright, pure-fruited perfume from whole-berry fermentation on 12. Red-fruit palate a touch stalky & herbaceous. Fresh acidity, fine dry tannins.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4*
'Almost black. A bit reduced. Quite impressively broad succulent Syrah on the palate. Very savoury and leathery. Not at all sweet.' - Jancis Robinson (January 2015), 16+/20
