2022 FIRS VINEYARD SYRAH

TRY ME IF YOU LOVE: Syrah

ABV: 13.0%

GRAPES: 100% Syrah

TASTING NOTES: Subtle on the nose but opens nicely with aeration. 100% whole bunch. The well-balanced palate is medium-bodied with a slightly pastille-like opening, mulberry and blueberry fruit and superbly judged acidity. Hints of green olive develop toward the composed, persistent finish.

PAIRS WITH: Good with beef, lamb or poultry

SERVE ME: Serve at room temperature. 

Mick and his wife Jeanine started Craven Wines in 2014, sourcing fruit from single vineyard sites in and around Stellenbosch and making “site-specific, honest wines”. Originally from Australia Mick met Jeanine whilst working in Sonoma, California, before both moving to South Africa in 2011.
