The Waterkloof Circumstance Syrah enchants the nose with slightly pebbly mineral aromas as well as hints of black pepper and warm spices, accompanied by fragrant earthy and fine floral nuances. The clear fruit on the palate is supported by a fresh acidity and well integrated tannins. A great and incredibly elegant wine with excellent length!

The grapes for this wonderful Syrah were fermented in open fermentation vats made of wood all over the bunch. The yeast naturally present on the fruit started the fermentation process. The wine was left on the skin for 30 days. To ensure that only the finest tannins were extracted, the skins were gently pressed in a basket press. The wine matured for 21 months in 600 l barrels made of pre-oiled oak before being bottled. The wine has not been refined to preserve the pure and authentic character of this grape variety in the wine.
