Fairview Carignan Syrah 2017
R125.00
Intense burgundy in the glass. Notes of black berries, plum, savoury spice and pepper on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fruity flavours of spices complemented by a velvety, luscious mouthfeel. The wine finishes with well structured, elegant tannins and a good acidity. This wine will age well for 5 to 7 years.
Description
The Carignan is from one of the oldest blocks of Carignan in the country, planted in 1981 on the slopes of the Kasteel Mountain in the Swartland. The Syrah is from dryland bushvines planted in decomposed granite and shifts soils in the Swartland. Both these cultivars do well in the dry challenging climate of the Swartland.
