Information about "Tembela Syrah 2024"
The Tembela Syrah 2024 impresses with its blend of wild herbs, black pepper, and violets, perfectly balanced with lush red and black fruit profiles. This medium-bodied wine reveals a fresh, vibrant character on the palate, heightened by an invigorating liveliness. The inclusion of whole clusters enriches the earthy and spiced notes in the lengthy finish.
Its grapes originate 80% from the sandy, weathered granite soils of the Polkadraai Hills, imparting a distinct minerality and brightness to the wine, while the remaining 20% are sourced from the Jakkalsfontein vineyard at Paardeberg in Swartland. The 2024 vintage has been exceptional for Syrah, resulting in the richest color to date under winemaker Banele Vakele's production. The intricate watercolor label honors his mother, Tembela, depicted prominently with a basket atop her head, while a second woman in the background reflects themes of community and tradition.
Die Trauben wurden an verschiedenen Tagen geerntet und in den Keller von Savage Wines gebracht, wo Banele seine Weine in Salt River ausbaut. In diesem Jahr blieben 80 % der Traubenrispen unversehrt, der Rest wurde entrappt. Während der Gärung in offenen Gärbehältern erfolgten etwa zwei Unterstöße pro Tag. Nach etwa 10 Tagen wurde der Wein in alte 500-Liter-Fässer überführt und für 10 Monate zur Reifung gelagert. Anschließend wurde er durch eine Blattfiltration geleitet, mit einer kleinen Schwefelzugabe versehen und abgefüllt. Eine Schönung fand nicht statt.
