Gabrielskloof Syrah

This is an elegant, cool climate Syrah with savoury notes of fynbos and tomato leaf complemented by lifted aromas of raspberry, violet and crushed pepper. There is a wonderful density on the palate, coupled with fine grained tannins and vivid acidity. The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Sandstone vineyard, named due to the soils consisting of mostly broken Sandstone rock. The site's unique soil and cool climate result in an elegant and perfumed style of Syrah. The site is mountainous and this environment leads to low vine vigour and reduced yields for additional concentration and complexity in the wine.
