Benguela Cove Walker Bay Syrah (Shiraz) Red Wine  (750 ml)

True to the varietal grown in cooler climates, one is lured closer by aromas of cherry, marzipan and violets, a rich perfume and a savoury gloss with hints of white pepper spice and fynbos. Silky soft tannins add to the finesse with a youthful freshness to perch the bold blueberry fruit flavours. The fruit follows through beautifully with nuances of dark chocolate on the finish that lingers on the palate. Albeit upfront and evocative, the wine was executed with restraint for a balanced result. Young yet forthcoming, it is evident the winemaker followed an old-world approach and not to let the oak overpower the honest essence of this wine.
