Syrah is particularly well-suited to Joostenberg estate and this is one of several wines in which it plays a significant role. Mourvédre, Grenache Noir and Touriga Nacional are the supporting varietals in this wine.
The grapes are organically farmed in Paarl, hand-picked, and the wine is aged in oak and stainless steel before bottling. Refined.

Tasting Notes: On the nose raspberries, blackberries, Marashino cherries and a hint of fennel. Medium bodied and elegant with a bit of grape derived tannin on the finish. Perfect for casual dining and pairs well with food, as well as offering depth and detail without being heavy. 

Consisting of 67% Syrah, 19% Mourvèdre, 9% Grenache Noir and 5% Touriga Nacional, it was matured for nine months in old oak and stainless steel.  Appealing aromatics of potpourri, red berries, cured meat and spice while the palate is medium bodied (alc: 13%) with fresh acidity and not overly assertive tannins, the finish gently savoury. CE’s rating: 92/100.
