Wild raspberries, candied cherries, and sun-ripe plums.
The carbonic maceration draws out vivid fruit while softening tannins, giving the wine a silky, vibrant feel.
Spice lifts the aromatics, light pepper, violets, and a touch of red liquorice, making it unmistakably Syrah, just in a fresher, more playful frame.
On the palate, the fruit remains the hero, but with structure beneath: fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a whisper of Swartland earth from the shale and granite soils.
There’s lightness, but also length. A refreshing finish keeps it clean, with just enough grip to hold its shape.
