The Mount Sutherland Syrah is a typical Syrah in continental style. Wonderful aromas of fragrant rose petals, black cherries, fine cloves and freshly ground pepper rise to the nose. This beguiling bouquet also unfolds on the palate in the form of delicious taste nuances with a dazzling juiciness and opulence. The finish is pleasantly smooth, well matured and with a long lasting character.

On arrival at the winery, the grapes from South Africa's highest and coolest vineyards were allowed to swell for 10 days at a controlled 8°C. The fermentation also took place at a cool temperature throughout the bunch. At the end of the fermentation process, the wine matured for 14 months in French barriques, 20% of which were new wood.
