Join us for an intimate tasting and discussion of one of the world’s most expressive cultivars. We’re bringing together South Africa’s “coolest” and “hottest” winemakers to deconstruct the nuances of Syrah(or is it Shiraz?) made from warm and cool climates.
This is a side-by-side look across regions and styles. We’ll be pouring current releases alongside some library vintages and maybe a surprise example to show how these wines evolve and age over time. For the serious Syrah collector or just a curious drinker, the evening is designed to be as educational as it is relaxed.
The Details:
When: Thursday, 16 April 2026 | 18:30
