Vinologist Shiraz 2017

Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaCape winemaker Marc Kent made his mark with syrah at Bookenhoutskloof, but this label from Swartland is an intriguing adventure. The style is very different, with more vivacious, cleaner fruit with delicious scented plum and cherry. There’s smoke and leather but above all freshness this is a silky, savoury red that dances across the palate. Simple and very well made, and a super value.
