The spicy and perfumed character of the cool- climate Elim Syrah is complemented by the creamy texture and red fruit profile from Franschhoek, resulting in a wine with distinctive varietal aromas and a well-balanced palate. Petit Sirah from Franschhoek contributes colour, while a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbosch adds depth and structure to the finish.
The medium-bodied character of this wine harmonizes perfectly with rich, flavourful dishes, grilled foods (including grilled vegetables), game dishes (particularly those incorporating stewed fruit and sweet aromatic spice components), peppercorn- crusted steaks and barbecued meat in a sticky, sweet marinade. The wine’s abundant fruit also latches on to the sweetness in jellies, chutneys and berry sauces.
