Boschkloof Syrah 2021 per Case

The Latin phrase “inconcessum persequor” surrounding The Grail on our emblem translates into “I pursue the unattainable”, and between the slopes of the beautiful Stellenbosch valley in South Africa, the Borman family pursue to perfect the art of winemaking.

Complex and attractive bouquet of oriental spices with pronounced violet and white pepper flavours. It has lovely perfumed red fruit aromatics. A well-balanced wine with spicy overtones and a lingering finish. Very classic style with unmistakable Rhone flavours. Good to drink now, but will develop and mature over the next 10 years.

Boschkloof vineyards, syrah clone SH 99 and SH21. Grapes harvested by hand. The yield was moderate at 6 tons per hectare. Natural fermentation, no yeast added. Skin contact for 11 days after alcoholic fermentation with MLF taking place in barrel. Carefully matured in 10% new French 225l barrels for 14 months. Minimum filtration before bottling.
