Syrah The Firs 2024 - Single

Syrah is a grape that we both have a soft spot for. We think there are some special and unique plantings of Syrah in Stellenbosch. The grapes for our Syrah come from a great little vineyard in the ward of Devon Valley. It is planted on a rich, deep, red soil with a high clay content. The grapes are left 100% whole bunch and lightly stomped by foot to extract a little juice.

Very gentle pumpovers are performed once or twice daily throughout fermentation, as the winemaker wanted to minimise extraction and maintain as many whole bunches as possible. After pressing, the wine is aged in a concrete tank for 10 months.
