Description

Savage Red 2024
Syrah from Kuils River and Polkadraai. 15% fermented as submerged cap. Matured in old 500-litre barrels for 13 months before a further 10 months in foudre. Gorgeous aromatics with pronounced fynbos preceding red berries, rose, cinnamon and pepper. Lovely fruit expression, bright acidity and powdery tannins, the finish long and dry but not at all astringent. Seamless, not too lean nor stemmy. So coherent from entry through mid-palate to finish. Alc: 13.7%.

Christian Eedes’ rating: 97
