The Syrah grapes grow on the ancient southern slopes of Schaapenberg, allowing the bunches to receive an even distribution of sunlight. A fresh ocean breeze provides the necessary cooling and contributes to the slow ripening of the harvest. Today, the vineyard is mature and produces unique, full-bodied bunches. These are all harvested by hand to preserve the wine's purity and suppleness. Upon arrival, the bunches are pressed, and this red Old School Syrah is then aged for several months in oak barrels in the cellars in False Bay.
Wow, settle in, because this is no ordinary glass of wine! Upon opening, black fruit bursts forth, accompanied by a touch of spice and cedarwood. Its deep, almost black, red color clings tightly to the glass. The aroma offers an overwhelming bouquet of blackberries, cherries, and cassis, with hints of spice and pepper. On the palate, it delivers a spicy, spicy note, accompanied by plums and cherries. Swirl this red False Bay Old School Syrah on your palate, and you'll also taste notes of mocha and roasted nuts.
