About this Item

2014 Schist Syrah
6 ( 1 x 6) 750ml

Grapes for the Schist Syrah are sourced from a single parcel of sustainably farmed 21 year old vines planted in the stony Shale and Schist soils of Roundstone Farm on the Kasteelberg. This parcel of Syrah gives the best expression of the Kasteelberg's terroir - density and structure.

Critics Ratings

'The Mullineux' familiarity with this fruit - they've been using since their days at Tulbagh Mountain Vineyards - shows in the confidence and balance of the wine. Floral, perfumed and complex, it combines aromas of lavender and rosemary with liquorice and blackberry flavours, stylish oak and its customary mineral core. One to age. Drink: 2016-25.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2016, 96/100

'From 2 best schist-based Kasteelberg blocks; identically vinified to terroir siblings to showcase soil differences, more palate weight here. Fragrant, 2014 more than a nod to northern Rhône. Succulent and polished, 24 months oaking (25% new) a hidden support.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
