- Options available
The Swartland terroir is home to rich, nuanced, silky Shiraz and the 2023 Kasteelberg Syrah is no exception. Rich black fruit, liquorice and hints of spice charms the nose. The palate follows through with black currents and complex baking spice.
Crafted from single-vineyard, hand-selected Syrah, from the foothills of the majestic Kasteelberg Mountain, Kasteelberg Syrah embodies minimal intervention craftsmanship that transforms the harsh Swartland terroir into the pinnacle of our winemakers’ art.
Hand harvested grapes are destemmed into an open top fermenter with 30% whole bunch. Cold maceration lasts for 2 – 3 days for colour and soft, supple tannin extraction. The wine undergoes a beautiful wild yeast fermentation and is kept on skins after fermentation for extended skin contact. Thereafter it is pressed and aged in a selection of 500 and 300L old French oak barrels for 9 months. After bottling the wine was further bottle-matured for 12 months prior to release.
