The Rondekop Series of wines are crafted from a selection of the finest barrels, highlighting either single cultivars or blends sourced from the iconic Rondekop hill, celebrated as the 8th natural element influencing the unique terroir. Adding to the allure of this vineyard are ancient stone axes, over 100,000 years old, discovered on Rondekop, hinting at its rich historical significance. The Syrah grapes for this wine were hand-harvested from a high-altitude vineyard, with 18% undergoing whole-bunch fermentation and 82% fermented as whole berries. The wine was naturally fermented, aged for 18 months in a combination of Austrian foudre and French oak barrels, and racked three times during fermentation. Residual sugar: 2.1g/l. Bottled at 14%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Vibrant and expressive aromas of rhubarb, red cherry, and roasted beetroot, intertwined with floral hints of violets. Subtle spices of white and red pepper, along with baking spices, add complexity.

Palate: A harmonious blend of dark cherries and bramble fruits, complemented by savoury notes of liquorice and caramel. Floral undertones of lavender enhance the wine's elegance, while a touch of smoky cedar adds depth.

Finish: A juicy and lingering finish, where the wine's acidity and light, refined tannins provide structure and balance, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and vitality.
