Kruger Sutherland Syrah 2022

R540.00

Region: Sutherland

Tasting note:

“Grapes from a vineyard situated on the Roggeveld escarpment at 1 500 metres above sea level just outside the Karoo village of Sutherland, the same one that Daniël de Waal of Super Single Vineyards used for his acclaimed Mount Sutherland Syrah. 25% whole-bunch fermentation before maturation lasting nine months in older 300-litre barrels. The nose is initially rather brooding showing smoky reduction, black berries, earth, fynbos and pepper although prettier notes of violets and orange emerge with time in glass. The palate is thrillingly tense – pure fruit, tingly acidity and a saline finish. Lean and austere but in an entirely fascinating way. Alc: 13%.” – CE 95pts

Johan Kruger, winemaker of Kruger Family Wines, was Young South African Winemaker of the Year in 2005. Johan’s passion is chardonnay, but he has also proven his talent over the years in many other varieties and delicious blends.
Johan grew up on a family farm called Sterhuis in Stellenbosch and learnt the art of winemaking at Jordan Wines, Stellenbosch, as well as abroad in the USA and Burgundy – hence his passion for vineyard specific wines. Three years ago when Johan and his Belgian wife, Sofie, started their lovely family, it was time to spread their wings and go it alone, so Johan, used to one farm and one terroir, now has the whole of South Africa to source the most unique vineyard parcels and express these into the bottle with minimal intervention and a very natural approach to winemaking.
