Oldenburg Vineyards Syrah is a bold, delectable wine hailing from South Africa's Stellenbosch region. Echoing the richness of its warm, Cape terroir, this Syrah enchants with an aromatic bouquet of warm spices, dark fruit flavours and delicate floral notes. Ideally balanced, it delicately combines full-bodied richness with a smooth and velvety texture. On the palate, layers of blackberries, dark chocolate, and a hint of black pepper intertwine harmoniously. A refined touch of oak adds depth and complexity, leading to a lingering, opulent finish. A delightful satisfaction for the sophisticated wine connoisseur. Oldenburg Vineyards Syrah is truly a masterpiece in a bottle.

Tasting Notes

This wine showcases a deeper ruby colour than in past vintages, thanks to the generous use of whole bunch fermentation. An inviting perfume on the nose, with generous amounts of red cherries, cranberries and rhubarb. Slightly more savoury elements of parmesan shavings and grapefruit pith add texture to the wine. On the palate, the wine displays an elegant finesse, with a juicy acidity, and an understated body that carries the red fruits incredibly well. The gentle finish and structure makes for a wine that could be paired with a plethora of dishes.
