SOMESAY 2021 | Syrah/Shiraz

Syrah | Shiraz 

It seems there is some confusion as to whether it is Shiraz or Syrah. It is in fact the same grape varietal, a different style. Some say Shiraz, some say Syrah, we don’t really mind what you call it, as long as you enjoy it as much as we do. 

Somesay offers an amalgamation of red fruit dusted with delicate nuances of pink peppercorns, sandalwood and white tea. On the palate, well-judged oak adds spice, while the fruit intensity of black cherry and mulberry takes the lead. Aromas of tomato leaf and oregano bring a savoury depth, while the classic expression of balance lies in its polished tannin and mouth-coating salinity.

Most of the fruit is sourced from Stellenbosch and Cederberg vineyards, while a small percentage comes from Ceres, Swartland and Piekenierskloof. This is a proudly South African red blend made from 100% Syrah.
