Damascene W.O Ceres Plateau Syrah 2022

R552.00

Region: Ceres Plateau

Tasting note:

‘This rare, high-altitude wine makes an impressive entrance, with savoury Hoisin sauce, raspberry, and red cherry elements on the nose. Its unique terroir is felt on the palate, as vibrant pomegranate and more red berries cut through deeper elements of blackberry and cherry candy. The fruit elements are corseted by a delicately-stitched tannic frame, segueing into a finish of gentle clove, star anise, and lingering pomegranate.’ – Winemaker

“60% whole-bunch fermented. Matured for 11 months in 1 000-litre vats. Red currant, raspberry and black cherry to go with orange, jasmine and white pepper. Light-bodied (alcohol is 13.16% with lemon-like acidity and a creamy texture. Super-elegant. Alc: 13.16%.” – CE
