About this Item

2001 Synergy Cape Blend
5 (1 x 5) 750ml

This blend represents not only the synergy of three red grape varieties, but also the different slopes, soils and microclimates where they are grown. Merlot, Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were sourced from selected vineyards in the Simonsberg, Koelenhof and Bottelary hills areas of the Stellenbosch region to create a wine which combines the best elements of classic European and new world wine styles. This rich, powerful yet elegant red wine will continue to develop in the bottle for up to ten years if cellared.

Critics Ratings

‘Consisting of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Pinotage and 8% Merlot matured in 100% new barrels, the 2001 Synergy Reserve has dominant oak on the nose compared to recent vintages with tertiary aromas and Chinese tea emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied, mushroomy on the entry and is just missing a little freshness towards the blurred finish. Drink now.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (Aug 2011)
