Information about "Tokara Reserve Collection Syrah 2023"
The Fairview Petite Sirah is a full-bodied and opulent wine, which at the same time can show off a lot of elegance. With an almost ink-black colour, the glass releases seductive aromas of vanilla, winter spice cake and pickled pear. The palate is wonderfully silky, creamy and opulent, with a robust tannin structure and seductive nuances of cinnamon dates and fine spices.
Petite Sirah (also known as Durif), is a natural cross between Syrah and the Peloursin variety. Discovered by François Durif in the South of France in 1880, Petite Sirah's intense colour and excellent tannin structure make it an excellent blending partner in cuvées. Today, this grape variety is mainly cultivated in California and Australia. Petite Sirah first became known in South Africa through Fairview's owner Charles Back, who tasted this grape variety while travelling and then introduced it to South Africa. South Africa's warm climate is ideal for Petite Sirah to thrive. This wine is the only Petite Sirah wine offered for sale in South Africa.

Diese Trauben werden von Hand aus einem ertagsschwachen Weinberg gelesen. 25 Prozent der Trauben werden ganz in den Tank geladen, der Rest enstammt und zerkleinert. Die spontane Gärung fand in einem aufrechetem Foudre statt und der Wein reifte nochmals zehn Monate auf der Hefe und weitere 11 Monate in Barriquefässern vor dem Abfüllen.
