Connect The Dots 2022

This is a bright and lively wine, with notes of blood orange and a core of crunchy cherry fruit. Very fine tannins are present but not overbearing, and the wine is long, focussed, and very fine indeed.

Buy this wine because Sam explores the diversity of Syrah planted in cool micro-climates of the Cape and this label represents another step in his never-ending search to find the best sites in the Winelands. Working closely with farmers who share his fervour for Syrah and precision viticulture, the idea is to provide a snap-shot of Cape Syrah in a given year and to fuse the results in a bottle. In other words, to Connect The Dots.

It pairs great with steaks, tomato based sauces, cheese & biscuits
