not by the traditional saignée method - in order to reveal the full texture and character of the grape variety and give it nice length and structure

The harvest was compressed

Radford Dale Stellenbosch Syrah 2017 domaine-pavelot not by the traditional saignéeGrapes from the Helderberg in Stellenbosch. 30% whole bunch fermentation. The nose shows red and black berries, rose and white pepper while the palate displays a lovely succulence of fruit, fresh acidity and fine, powdery tannins. The finish meanwhile is deeply but still pleasantly savoury. Balanced and nicely nuanced, this is an accomplished offering.
