Excelsior Syrah 2023

Excelsior Syrah is crafted from grapes grown in the Robertson region of South Africa, where the semi-arid climate and limestone-rich soils contribute to its distinctive character. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit profile, followed by aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels, imparting subtle spice and vanilla notes. This Syrah offers a medium-bodied style with balanced acidity, showcasing flavors of dark berries, plum, and a hint of pepper. It is designed for immediate enjoyment but can also develop further complexity with short-term cellaring.
