Boekenhoutskloof - Syrah 2015 750ml

"The Boekenhoutskloof Syrah is sourced from our two properties in the Swartland. We acquired these two sites (Porseleinberg and Goldmine) a few years ago, for their unique terroir of rocky bedrock and decomposed mica schist soils. This is our first vintage claiming “Wine of Origin Swartland” for this wine, and our blend comprises of 80% Porseleinberg and 20% Goldmine fruit.

The brooding sous bois character of the nose is complemented by an abundance of dark berry fruit and violets. Beautiful floral aromas follow through onto the palate with intense spice, liquorice and dark plum. The wine is meaty and Rhône-like in style on the mid-palate with integrated acidity and fine, vibrant tannins to balance, offering great ageability. The peppery finish is long with hints of cloves, fennel and aniseed." - Boekenhoutskloof
