Vrede en Lust Lady J Syrah 2018

PRICE PER BOX OF 6

Made from Elgin and Simondium grapes, the perfect example of how fruit from two different terroirs can harmonise to create a beautiful wine showcasing the best of both regions.

This appealing Syrah is an elegant wine with supple fruit and dark spices. The grapes were picked by hand, and the selected blocks were fermented separately and only blended after maturation.

Winemaker’s notes:

The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Elgin and Simonsberg component are vinified separately. Pumpovers were done 3 times a day to ensure colour and tannin extraction. The wine spent 16 months in French oak barrels for maturation and was bottled under stelvin and cork closure.

Tasting notes:

The Shiraz grapes from Simonsberg-Paarl showcase violet and plums, whilst the Elgin grapes bring in a darker character with spicy notes and black pepper. Smooth tannins on the palate confirm the promise of this elegant wine. Velvet textured layers follow through to a juicy mouthfeel.
