Yardstick Syrah 2023

From dry-farmed vines on the terraces of the Blouklip River in Stellenbosch. A small inclusion of whole clusters during fermentation adds complexity and structure. The wine spent about three weeks on its skins, allowing for optimal flavour and colour extraction. Matured for a year in older French oak barrels, the result is a wine that is generous and dense. This Syrah has a complex bouquet with spicy notes, olive tapenade, and juicy blue fruits. On the palate, it’s concentrated and full, with firm, grainy tannins and a long, intense finish.
