An expression of Syrah from the southernmost tip of Africa, where the Atlantic and Indian oceans collide. Fynbos and violets, black pepper, blueberry and black cherry with a depth of meaty iron and black olives, super concentrated berries with electric, natural acidity. Glorious!

Buy this wine because “Some of the best things in life emerge from tough times and dark places”. True in wine, as in life, this message appears on the bottle’s back label to reflect the resilience of the Syrah vines that grow in the southern tip of Africa. Conditions are extreme on the harsh, exposed slopes of Cape Agulhas and, as always, its astonishing and delightful to experience what nature delivers

It pairs great with roasted rack of lamb, Beef Wellington, Haggis Neeps & Tatties
