Lanzerac Jonkershoek Syrah 2019

The Lanzerac Syrah delivers a good extraction of deep colour and aromas of white pepper, coriander, fynbos and red wine poached plums. The complex palate shows layers of ripe red and black berries with and undertone of savouriness.

A perfect match for dishes such as roasted fillet of venison with Syrah jus and wild mushrooms, braised beef Ragu with Gemelli and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggioano as well as a prosciutto and aged cheeses platter.
