Saxenburg Private Collection Syrah 2017
A Stellenbosch estate favourite since 1693. This Syrah is hand-picked from vineyards with an average age of 20 years, delicately crushed and destemmed, then worked with four punch-downs and pump-overs daily to extract deep, smoky fruit and firm, elegant tannins. Best enjoyed with grilled red meats or aged hard cheeses.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet in colour, with dark plum, black pepper and gentle woodsmoke on the nose. The palate is rich and velvety, layered with cassis and a long, spiced finish.
It All Began In 2017…
The journey began in February and carried on until the end of March 2017, when we carefully hand-picked grapes from our vineyards with an average age of 20 years. These vineyards, nestled within our three estate vineyards, provided us with exceptional fruit.
Once harvested, the grapes were delicately crushed and destemmed before being placed in open-top tanks. We employed a unique winemaking process, utilising a combination of four punch-downs and pump-overs each day — a method that allowed us to extract the rich flavours and aromas hidden within the grapes.
