Gabriëlskloof Syrah 2023

Part of our boutique-style range, this Syrah offers exceptional quality and value. The nose presents signature purple flowers, mulberries, olives, and cured meats. The palate is generous with black and red fruits, rainbow pepper, and a subtle earthiness, complemented by a stony, mineral texture and fine-grained tannins.

Wholebunch Syrah 2023

From our Projects Range, this wine showcases a wholebunch fermented, completely unwooded style of Syrah. Complex aromas of purple flowers, sour fig, dark chocolate, and wet earth lead to a palate of crushed blueberry and black cherry, followed by black olives, cloves, salted liquorice, and cured meats. Powdery tannins and fresh acidity balance the dense fruit.

Landscape Series Syrah on Sandstone

Grown in a challenging mountainous sandstone environment, this wine offers tremendous concentration. Expect crushed blueberries, black plums, and mixed spice on the nose, with a palate introducing fresh, minty herbaceousness and olive pith texture. Signature chalky tannins provide perfect balance.

Landscape Series Syrah on Shale

Sourced from a single Bokkeveld shale site, this wine presents depth and intensity. The nose evokes blue flowers, blackberries, and grilled meat reminiscent of Côte-Rôtie. The palate is plush and concentrated with cassis, kalamata olives, and black pepper, balanced by vibrant acidity.
