Scions of Sinai Swanesang Syrah 2023
Four kilometers from the South African ocean on granite soils, a half-hectare of 1999 bushvines planted in high-density treinspoor format produces this extraordinary cool-climate Syrah. Fermented with whole clusters and aged 11 months in a blend of cement vats and older barrels, Swanesang reveals a marine-influenced character with perfumed black and blue fruit, hints of black olive, and a powdery, mineral finish. At just 12.5% alcohol, the wine combines ethereal elegance with compelling grip.
