About this Item
“Making wine is like storytelling. In winemaking, you need to listen very carefully to what the vineyard communicates and when you are able to do that, we can tell the story of that vineyard. And when you drink a wine, you need to be transported to that place.” - Erika Obermeyer
63% Syrah, 20% Grenache Noir, 14% Cinsault, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon
• 2021 was a perfect vintage with favourable conditions throughout the season.
• The reds had good acidity, colour and tannin structure resulting in concentrated wines with vibrance, elegance and outstanding cellaring potential.
• Syrah adds the fresh red berry fruit, spices and structure, Grenache Noir lends fresh fruit, elegance and structure, Cinsault contributes brighter fruit, acidity and freshness, while a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon adds complexity, structure and length.
Tasting Notes: Intense and concentrated, beautifully balanced with an alluringly perfumed nose. Multidimensional and multi-layered, the palate delivers a textured mouthfeel with silky smooth tannins and a fresh finish.
This will be ready for drinking from 2024 until 2035.
