Information about "Radford Dale Syrah 2021"
Radford Dale Syrah 2021 captures the spirit of the Helderberg region in South Africa, expertly merging classic Rhône style with its unique terroir. The nose reveals a complex array of dark fruit entwined with exotic spices, providing an intricate sensory experience. On the palate, it showcases restrained elegance, characterized by a refined tannin structure typical of Stellenbosch. Flavors of ripe dark berries intermingle with black pepper on the mid-palate, leading to a refreshingly herbal finish that lingers delightfully.
The grapes were handpicked in the early morning, sorted, destemmed, and crushed. A 'cold soak' at low temperatures followed, with a small portion (20%) fermented whole bunch. This method enhances varietal sharpness and complexity. Natural fermentation occurred without added yeast; after fermentation, the grapes were pressed, and the wine aged for 18 months in barrels before being bottled unfiltered.
