A Syrah-dominant red blend from Franschhoek, South Africa, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The 2022 vintage is 77% Syrah, 9% Grenache, 8% Cinsault, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Viognier. It is fermented as whole berries and matured in 95% used French oak barrels using Boekenhoutskloof's OXO barrel rotation system.
The nose opens with boysenberry, black cherry and cardamom, then sweet tobacco and espresso, with violet, rose petal and exotic spice. The palate has ripe plum, black currant, dried cranberry, blueberry and brambly red fruit, with a mouth-coating texture and fine, cocoa-powdery tannins. The finish is medium-long, with cacao, subtle espresso bitterness and dark berry compote.
