SYRAH SILHOUETTEPINOTAGE
COMPLEX REDThis wine delivers a complex array of flavours of red and dark current berries, beautiful sweet aromas of violets and blueberries layered by hints of liquorice and pepper. The pallet has a refined taste with balanced acidity and tannins.
Fermentation with up to 30% whole bunch took place in open top fermenters. Soft techniques were used to extract colour, fruit and tannin. The wine was aged a further 10 months in seasoned French oak barrels, cask and foudres.
Our Syrah vines are trained using echalas and the trellising system. Grown on sandstone to clay shale soils with some granite in between. Aged at 4-11 years.
