Syrah - Zevenwacht

Syrah - ZevenwachtThe Syrah from the producers at Zevenwacht in the Western Cape offers a dense, purplish-red color when swirled in the glass. With some time in the glass, this red wine from South Africa showcases wonderfully expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, and plum, rounded off by other fruity nuances. The Zevenwacht Syrah captivates with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with 5.6 grams of residual sugar. As one would expect from a wine in the high-quality wine category, this South African delight impresses with a fine balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require much residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully silky. The balanced acidity caresses the palate with a soft mouthfeel, while still maintaining juicy liveliness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Western Cape region, specifically Stellenbosch, ultimately delights with a beautiful aftertaste. Vinification of the Syrah from Zevenwacht This powerful Syrah from South Africa is a varietal wine, vinified from the Syrah grape variety. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the fermentation process is completed, the Syrah can harmonize on its fine lees for several months. Food Recommendation for the Syrah from Zevenwacht This South African red wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes but is also a pleasure to enjoy on its own.
