About this Item

2004 Pavanne Syrah
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Personal notes from the winemaker

'The Pavanee Syrah 2004 was made exclusively for Wine Cellar - it was a trial run to see if the Stellenbosch Cuvee would be complete on it's own. The Pavanne Syrah is a single vineyard wine, because I am a bit of a purist at heart. All the fruit for the Pavanne came from Stellenbosch, while my regular bottling was about 75 % Stellenbosch, 25 % Agter Paarl. The Pavanne is finer, the regular more Beefy and Rhone like.' - Chris Williams

Critics Ratings

'Quite closed on the nose at first however did open up with nice Rhoney-pepper and buckets of fruit. A little perfumed too. Perhaps riper than I would have thought. The brambly fruit explodes in the mouth. Nice acid. Nice use of oak. Bigger than I would have thought. Prodigious concentration and length. It's a real fruit-wine verses an oak-and-tannin which many wines are.' - Roland Peens, 2008
