Bottle of Longridge Driefontein Syrah

On the nose, the wine shows cinnamon, black cherries, elegant spice and charcuterie. Well-rounded tannins make for a wine which is accessible now, but with enough structure and balance to age and reward well in years to come. Serious, smoky, meaty and compact.

Biodynamic practices were also followed in the cellar. In the winery, the grapes were sorted twice – firstly as whole bunches and then as berries to ensure that only the best grapes reach the fermentation tank. Aged in 20% new French Oak barrels, this wine will continue to reward if carefully cellared for 5 – 8 years.
