TASTING NOTES
De Grendel Op Die Berg Syrah 2022
Elegant and complex, full-bodied, fragrant and fresh – the De Grendel Op die Berg Syrah is a distinctive wine grown in one of South Africa’s highest, and coldest, winemaking districts.
The grapes from the Op Die Berg vineyards are delivered to the De Grendel cellar in Durbanville where they are destemmed before crushing to reduce tannic influence and undergo aerated pump overs in closed tanks to preserve freshness, while extended skin contact develops full body and the wine’s deep, brilliant colour.
Ripe maraschino cherries, black current fruit pastilles, and a promising nose of fresh herbs and white pepper undertones are complemented by warm Christmas spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. Offering superb drinking pleasure on release, this is a wine with luxurious finesse which will only improve with careful cellaring for up to 8 to 10 years.
