Description
The Saxenburg Private Collection Syrah 2021 has a beautiful ruby colour to the wine. The nose has alluring spice notes of freshly crushed black pepper, white pepper, cloves, cumin and coriander seeds. The spice notes are lifted by violet blossoms, cassis, black cherries and ripe blackberries. These notes follow through to the palate with a fine velvety tannin and a lingering aftertaste.
This elegant wine is best complemented by game or full-flavoured meat dishes.
Drinking beautifully on release, but will reward cellaring for 10 or more years.
Serve at 15-18 Deg.
Additional Info:
The 2021 vintage has all the hallmarks of a sumptuous Syrah with balanced fruit and spice on the nose. Various parcels were picked and fermented separately, with 20% whole bunch and 10% submerged cap fermentation. No crushing was done, and extraction varied by component, guided by daily tastings—from 3 daily pump-overs to one every second day. After 12 months in French oak (10% new), components were blended following a strict barrel selection.
