Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
Riper and more intense than the Steepside, this is more grounded. Notes of fynbos and tapenade swirl from the glass, while there’s also a core of dark cherries, store-cupboard spice, and so much grip to the tannins. This will be a remarkable wine: secure it today.

Syrah lovers could spend a long time discussing the relative merits of Alex Starey's single parcel Syrahs. I have a very slight preference for Topside in 2018, partly because its cooler terroir on Stellenbosch Mountain was well suited to the drought conditions of the vintage. Restrained, focused and built to age in bottle, it has sage and oregano perfume, savoury tannins, refreshing acidity and minerality and flavours of plum, raspberry, red cherry and tobacco leaf. 2025-32
