WINE DESCRIPTION

De Trafford Syrah Blueprint is a premium wine produced by De Trafford Winery, a renowned producer in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The wine is made from Syrah grapes grown in the estate's vineyards. The vineyards benefit from the cool ocean breezes and the unique terroir of the region, resulting in grapes with intense flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle crushing, and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The wine is known for its rich, complex flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes, with a full-bodied and elegant style.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of dark berries and earthy spices swirl together to create a rich and inviting nose.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a velvety texture that is balanced by structured tannins and a lingering finish of subtle smokiness. A classic expression of Syrah, this Blueprint Syrah from De Trafford is an excellent example of a South African classic.
