Lammershoek The Innocent Syrah 2015

A beautiful wine with aromas of dark chocolate, red berry fruit and hints of savoury undertones. The palate is elegant with a silky texture balanced with lovely natural acidity. The finish is long and refreshing.

COLOUR: Dark red centre with a bright red edge.
NOSE: Dark chocolate, plums, cassis and spices.
PALATE: Soft and round upfront mouth feel, good mid palate texture with ripe and refined tannins that lingers on.

in the vineyard : Farmed dry-land, thus not irrigated. All the vines are old bush vines between 15-50 years old. There are 9 different Syrah vineyards on the farm; this wine is a selection of 3 different vineyard sites. All the vineyards consist of “Lammershoek decomposed granite” with varying amounts of water being allowed through the different clay types.
about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked early morning and cooled overnight.
in the cellar : A very rough grape sorting was done to remove any over/under-ripe grapes or leaves from the fermentation tank. Partially de-stemmed or left to ferment as a whole bunch. All these different blocks and fermentation techniques were aged separately in a combination of concrete tanks, wooden foudres and old barrels for 11 months before careful blending and bottling.
