2024 Red Blend,Zwartwater Estate, Swartland

The Red blend is a blend of 68% Syrah, 27% Carignan, and 5% Mourvedre. The Syrah and Mourvèdre were fermented as whole bunches, carrying elevated aromatics and firm structure. Carignan was destemmed to preserve purity of fruit and balance. A fifth of the blend was matured in new oak, another fifth in concrete and the remainder in seasoned oak barrels. The Syrah leads on the nose here, with notes of wild herbs, juniper, and violets. The palate has a silky mouthfeel, with ripe plum and hedgerow fruit flavours with a subtle accent of tapenade and sandalwood on the finish.
