Intellego Syrah 2024 comes from an Abbotsdale vineyard on iron-rich soils. Fermented entirely as whole bunches, it matured for twelve months in barrel and four months in tank.
Its label is connected to the Chenin Blanc artwork, with the two illustrating different seasons and their effect on the vineyards. Together, the Chenin Blanc and Syrah offer a starting point for exploring Jurgen’s single-variety wines before moving through the blends, pét-nats and skin-contact whites.
“Lovely fruit purity, bright acidity and powdery tannins. Succulent, elegant and long.”
