Anthonij Rupert Syrah 2014

Name: Anthonij Rupert Syrah 2014
Brand: Anthonij Rupert
SKU: 44986

Understated fynbos edge to plump black plum and vanilla spice with a hint of violets on the nose. Complex and intriguing. The palate is simultaneously plush-textured and svelte but multi-faceted with plum-, blueberries-, ink and spice notes. A focused, linear wine which is graceful with beautifully integrated mature oak notes. The tail is long, spicy, rewarding and intricate.

in the cellar : Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. In the cellar, the whole berries are manually double sorted and then gravity-fed into fermenters. Each batch is cold soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature. Fermentation takes place naturally in the barrel. The wines were aged for 18-24 months in 85% 225L new French oak barrels, bottled unfiltered and bottle-aged for 2 years.
