Tasting Notes: 50% Grenache Noir & 50% Syrah, hailing from Walker Bay, South Africa. This is delicate petticoat-pink, translucent and tempting in the glass. Exquisitely perfumed with the come-hither bouquet of a Madame Meilland rose, blending with the freshness of sun-kissed berries. Profoundly chic yet playful on the palate: lush ripe raspberry laced with evocative hints of dried apple; racy white pepper flirting with the tiniest scoop of honey. All enlivened by the crisp acidity and savoury minerality characteristic of this cool-climate, maritime wine. Regularly $30 now on sale at $17.99 - an absolute must have this summer!

Tasting Notes: Every once in a while I come across a wine that is truly a hidden gem. A tasty, inexpensive fruit forward Syrah from South Africa. Named after Cape Town’s False Bay, it’s this large sweeping bay that’s in full view from the famous Waterkloof estate where the wine is made. The grapes for the Old School Syrah are sourced mainly from two sustainably farmed separate vineyards in Stellenbosch in relatively cool spots. The hand harvested Syrah is fermented spontaneously ‘old-school’ with wild yeast (partially whole-bunch) and raised in large wooden casks (or foudre). A fine, spicy style...definitely more Syrah than Shiraz. A great value South African Syrah which pays homage to the savoury and wild Syrahs of the Rhône Valley. 100% Syrah, Full bodied. On the nose: Blackberry, brambleberry, Black currant. The palate: Blackberry, pepper, plum and vanilla. Will pair well with Red meats and spicy dishes. All of their wines are Vegan friendly.
