Old Road Wine Co. 12 MILE SYRAH (CASE OF 6)

THE ELITE RANGE
Introducing the Old Road Wine Co. Elite Range, a selection of ultra-premium regional-specific wines, handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail from vineyard to bottle. From the rugged corners of the Cape’s wine country, this Syrah reflects the loyal perseverance of the postman of old. Not deterred by rain or shine, a 12-mile distance or fatigue, this messenger never faltered.

TASTING NOTES
This restrained, delicate treatment resulted in a great example of the new elegant style of South African Syrah. It is spicy and rich with textured layers and ripe, but fresh berry fruit. On the nose, there is inviting blackcurrant with aromatic notes of white pepper and coriander. On the palate soft, velvety tannins combine with lingering mulberry fruit and great structure for a memorable taste encounter.

IN THE VINEYARD
The grapes used to make this cool-climate Syrah are cultivated in light granite soils and are carefully managed for ultra-premium quality, which includes green harvesting and leaf removal on both sides for excellent colour. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimum ripeness, and dry land farming is applied to obtain good concentration.
