Product information "Boekenhoutskloof Syrah 2021"
No question about it, this is the best Shiraz from the Cape. In the nose, aromas of black fruits explode with an abundance of dark plums and violets, white pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and dark chocolate. On the palate the Boekenhoutskloof Syrah shows a very intense fruit depth, with a dense grip and a long multi-layered finish. Even now, in its young years, it is extremely balanced and round. Shiraz lovers should not miss this limited drop.
Wine description according to Weinwisser 03/2017:
"Built in concrete. Expressive, yet clear and delicate bouquet with violets, dark berries and a touch of cedar and tobacco. Beautiful balance of concentration and finesse. Very elegantly structured, very smooth, almost polished and well-fitted tannin, beautiful extract sweetness, great drinking flow.

The grapes for this Syrah come from three different vineyards and, because of their individual characteristics, are sorted separately, destemmed, lightly crushed and vinified. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, after which the wines mature in large traditional 2500 litre barrels for up to 18 months before being blended.
