Product information "Benguela Cove Syrah 2019"
The Benguela Cove Syrah ensnares the nose with seductive aromas of fragrant potpourri, cinnamon and pepper as well as a delicious hint of olive tapenade and subtle sandalwood. On the palate this self-confident and stylish Syrah presents itself opulent and yet fresh with fine fruit notes and densely interwoven tannins. Nuances of fragrant rose blossoms and bitter-sweet liquorice end in a long and pleasantly lingering finish.

The grapes for the Benguela Cove Syrah were destemmed after the harvest and part of them were fermented as whole berries. The fermentation was achieved using only natural yeasts and lasted for six days. During this time, pump-overs were made every five hours to ensure perfect colour, flavour and tannin extraction. The juice was pressed before the alcoholic fermentation was completed, so that the tannins in the wine would not be too dry and bitter. Once the malolactic fermentation in the barrel was completed, the wine matured for 18 months in French barriques, 30% of which were new wood.
