| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2020 Platter's South African Wine Guide 17 (93 pts) maintains tone set by previous. Structured, elegant Rhone-styled with peppery plum fruit & vibrancy from 5% viognier. Lovely concentration & depth. Some fruit from cool Elgin & Walker Bay used again. 91 pts winemag.co.za March 2020 A blend of 95% Syrah, predominantly from Elim but including a small Walker Bay portion, and 5% Viognier from Franschhoek. Matured for 14 months in 300-litre French oak barrels, 55% new before blending and being returned to barrel for a further four months. Raspberry, plum and peach plus vanilla and white pepper on the nose. The palate is medium bodied and well balanced, the acidity unobtrusive and the tannins fine. Quietly classy rather than thrilling to drink. |
