2018 Steepside Syrah, Keermont, Stellenbosch

2018 Steepside Syrah, Keermont, Stellenbosch

The more elegant of the two single vineyards, the 2018 Steepside has notes of blood orange and also lots of red berries and a real sense of energy on the palate. The nose is almost ethereal in its character: this is a beautiful wine.

Tasting notes

It's good to see a top Cape Syrah released with a little bottle age, especially when it’s as good as this one from a warm, north-facing site on clay soils. Complex, dense and voluptuous, it has garrigue and tarragon aromas, understated oak and flavours of cooked meat, tapenade, damson and blackberry. Superb. 2024-30
