Syrah while retaining remarkable freshness and precision. Sourced from the rugged Porseleinberg mountain vineyard, the wine opens with intense aromas of blackberry, dark plum and black olive layered with cracked pepper, dried herbs and earthy mineral notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is full-bodied and firmly structured, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish. The 2022 vintage delivers impressive concentration without excess weight, balancing dark fruit richness with notes of spice, smoked meat and granite-like minerality. Whole-bunch fermentation and restrained oak influence contribute complexity and texture, allowing the vineyard character to remain at the forefront.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Syrah for customers seeking a serious, terroir-driven red with both intensity and finesse. Approachable with decanting, though it will reward careful cellaring over the next 10–15 years.
