About this Item

2016 Syrah
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Sons of Sugarland wines are produced by Young Gun, Reenen Borman of Boschkloof and Patasfontein wines. Reenen is possibly our finest new-generation winemaker at present and his latest releases are just epic. Reenen's accomplished hand and ever-increasing skills are especially impressive considering his young age. Sons of Sugarland is known for it's sought-after Syrah, with the Barbera being a new addition to the label.

This unique wine is made from an old single vineyard situated 250m above sea level in the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. This area is renowned for its amazing granite soils. Today it is one of South Africa’s greatest Syrah’s.

Winemakers personal tasting note:

'Very northern Rhone in style with fragrant blue fruit and black pepper spice. Beautifully balanced on the palate with ripe, concentrated fruit, soft tannins and a long savoury finish.' - Reenen Borman
