(14.8% alcohol; 20% from Swartland and the rest from Wellington; fermented with wild yeasts and aged for 26 months in old barriques; entirely destemmed): Bright ruby-red. Deep aromas of blueberry, violet, chocolate, licorice pastille and black pepper. A pure, vinous midweight, with a very smooth texture and a sweet oak component that contributes to its appeal. Finishes with serious building, tongue-coating tannins. 2016 - 2025
Elegant, refined cedar and plum aromas. The succulent, generous, ripe red fruits are counterpointed by grainy, chewy tannins. Rich, harmonious and well made. 80% fruit from Wellington and 20% from Porseleinberg, Marc Kent’s Syrah is always one of the Cape’s best. Brambly, lightly oaked and floral, with aromas of violets and wood smoke, fine tannins and impressive underlying finesse. Elegant winemaking.
