Syrah 'Swartland'

Syrah Swartland
  • 100% Syrah
  • Sourced from a combination of different soils: quartz-based soils from the Mullineux’s Kasteelberg vineyard, stony schist-based soils on the mid-slopes of Kasteelberg, decomposed granitic soils of the Paardeberg, and iron-rich soils north of Malmesbury
  • Hand harvested in the early morning at each vineyard site
  • Crushed 80% whole cluster to ensure the best expression of its unique Swartland terroir
  • Cap management took place to encourage natural and gentle extraction during the indigenous fermentation and after four weeks
  • The wine was pressed to 500L French barrels for 11 months
  • The Syrah was then blended and aged for an additional ten months before bottling
