Zevenwacht Z Collection Syrah 2022

A clear and bright wine with hints of lime and gold. The nose shows beautiful fruit purity with aromas of quince, apple, citrus and undertones of spice. The palate is focused with a vibrant acidity and a complex minerality on the finish.

Pairs beautifully with venison, so try dishes like a pepper crusted Kudu fillet or slow roasted springbok shanks.
