Two hills and a valley make up the sites for our Stellenbosch Syrah.
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch
Karibib Vineyard
Site: |
This perpetually cloud-covered vineyard is situated right at the top of its slope, nestled against a belt of fynbos. |
Elevation: |
295m ASL |
Character: |
The deep granite soils serve to enhance an already explosive vanguard of juniper, thyme, lavender, violets and white pepper. |
Kaapzicht Vineyard
Site: |
This rocky outcrop in the Bottelary hills overlooks the Swartland to the North and Table Mountain to the West. |
Elevation: |
275m ASL |
Character: |
The chilling breezes from False Bay, rolling across this hilltop, combined with the free-draining granitic soils, deliver an intense savoury meatiness and structure to the core of the wine. |
The Firs Vineyard
Site: |
This vineyard is nestled down in a cooler part of the Devon Valley. |
Elevation: |
140m ASL |
Character: |
The vines, planted in deep Oakleaf soils, lend the fruit some striking acidity, grapefruit rind elements, and pronounced white pepper notes. |
