A South African Syrah from the Jonkershoek Valley in Stellenbosch, made by the family-run Stark-Condé winery.
The fruit comes mainly from Block 1, a vineyard scattered with fist-size river stones. Production follows a Rhône-inspired approach: roughly 5% whole-bunch fermentation, about half the must on natural yeasts, and 20 months in French oak with 20% new wood. Small amounts of Roussanne and Viognier are co-fermented with the Syrah.
The nose shows dark plum, boysenberry, violet, cracked black pepper and licorice, with a mineral undertone. The palate is concentrated and fruit-forward, with blackberry, ripe plum, smoked meat, olive tapenade and dusty spice, plus firm, well-integrated tannins. The finish carries black pepper, soft vanilla and dark cocoa.
