Description
Tasting Notes
The Saxenburg Private Collection Syrah 2017 has a beautiful nose of black cherries, red berries and a hint of pepper and spice. The palate is seamless – the tannin is dense but finely grained. Hints of oak are beautifully integrated and only add to the incredible complexity. A note of crushed granite and floral elements brings freshness to the palate, finishing with sweet spice. This is the first vintage labelled as Syrah and not Shiraz.
Food Pairing
This elegant wine is best complemented by game or full-flavoured meat dishes.
