Bernard Series Syrah, ml

TASTING NOTE: A powerful aromatic wine that is assertive yet delicate and refined, with ample cracked black and white pepper spice, hints of rich dark chocolate against a substantial red berry fruit foundation tinged with subtle floral suggestions of violets and dried indigenous fynbos. A generously structured wine with ripe tannins that promises further integration and complexity on cellar maturation for up to 10 years. This wine is particularly recommended with full flavoured dishes like roast venison, aged fillet and rump steaks, spicy sausages or confit of duck. DESCRIPTION Varietals: 100% hand-picked Syrah Origin: Coastal Region - Stellenbosch (Bottelary Hills) and Paarl In the Cellar: Natural fermentation took place in open 500 L French oak barrels. The young wine was returned to the French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation was completed and a further 12 months maturation followed before bottling.
