South African Red Wine. W.O Swartland.
Syrah 74%, Grenache 11%, Cabernet Sauvignon 8%, Cinsault 6%, Viognier 1%
Sourced entirely from the rugged landscapes of the Swartland, this wine reflects one of South Africa's most distinctive and sought-after regions, known for its dry conditions, low yields, and intensely concentrated fruit. The 2024 vintage, marked by an early harvest and small, flavour-packed berries, brings both depth and energy, shaped by careful timing in the vineyard. Matured in a considered mix of French oak, it reveals layers of dark berry fruit, with hints of spice, cedar, and a gentle earthiness. The palate is smooth and composed, with fine tannins and a lively freshness that keeps the richness in check. A subtle savoury edge and lingering finish add to its sense of balance and quiet complexity.
