Tasting Notes

The Gabrielskloof Syrah is full-bodied with pronounced tannins. It features notes of blackberry and red cherry fruit, underpinned with aromas of garrigue, violets, meat, and smoke, along with spicy cloves in the savory finish.

Syrah

100% See-RA

Syrah is widely planted throughout the world, but that was not so until the late twentieth century when Syrah was principally grown in the Rhone Valley and, as Shiraz, in Australia. Stylistically, the Palate Character of Syrah can vary depending on ripeness from a rich Round & Fleshy, Tone & Backbone, to a Powerful & Extracted. The flavors and aromas can also vary with a dark, sometimes sweet, fruit character, varying amount of spice, floral, and earth, and smoke, and meaty aromas and flavors.
