Gabriëlskloof Whole Bunch Syrah 2021

R296.00

Region: Botrivier

Tasting note:

Dark berries, black olive tapenade, violets and a hint of reduction combining for a vintage that is all about intensity and purity of fruit. As the wine unfurls, the black fruits make way for brighter rhubarb and red plum, as cloves and liquorice add savoury complexity.

Gabriëlskloof is the realisation of a dream for South African Bernhard Heyns, who searched for several years to find the unique piece of land that, in his words, would “root him to the spot”. In 2001 he found what was then a canola farm named ‘Avontuur’ and the penny dropped. It was soon obvious that the site had the potential to make high-quality wines with a distinctive character, and so it has proved. Gabrielskloof has been owned and run by the Heyns family ever since. That family has since grown to include members of the local community, several of whom have risen through the ranks to senior positions at the farm.

The Whole Bunch Syrah forms part of our Projects Range. These are wines we can get geeky about – interesting, small runs, slightly quirky, but always delicious! All the fruit for this Syrah was hand-picked, whole bunch (carbonic) fermented for ten days, pressed and taken off the lees and then aged in steel tanks for eight months.
