WINE DESCRIPTION

Quoin Rock Syrah is a premium wine produced by Quoin Rock Winery, located in the Stellenbosch appellation of South Africa. The vineyard features a unique terroir with granite soils and a cool mediterranean climate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves handpicking the grapes and fermenting them in small batches, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Syrah with intense aromas of black fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. The palate is rich and complex, with flavors of blackberry, black pepper, and a touch of vanilla. Quoin Rock Syrah is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and elegant wine with a distinct sense of place.
