WINE REGION:

Outline of Western Cape

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.

TASTING NOTES:

Mulberry

Blackberry

Baking Spice

Layering, nuance, and complexity define our Syrah. On the nose, peppery aromas join brooding dark berry fruit. The palate is full-bodied, with elegant tannins that complement the notes of mulberry, blackcurrant, and cassis.
