The 2008 Tamboerskloof Syrah is blended with a touch of Mourvedre and Viognier. It undergoes handpicking and triple sorting before maturation in 500-liter French oak barrels. It has a very natural, refined bouquet with strawberry, Morello, dark plum and a touch of seaweed. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, sensual tannins. There is a core of very pure, spicy red fruit laced with white pepper and a beautifully composed finish this is very natural, caressing and poised. This is a Syrah from the top drawer.
