50% matured in oak barrels for 12 months, the remainder used. It has a composed blackberry and cassis-scented bouquet with a subtle floral note that develops in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, nicely judged acidity and well-integrated oak that allows the dark berry fruit to show through. There is a hint of white pepper on the aftertaste, completing a well-made Syrah that should drink well for 3-4 years.

A distinctive medium to full-bodied Shiraz, juicy and complex. A real mouth-filling wine, the spicy and floral savoury aromas are balanced by ripe fruit flavours and fine tannins on the palate.

Complement slow-cooked casseroles, game and barbequed foods.

Skaapveld refers to the grazing land for sheep that adjoins many of the Shiraz vineyards in our region.
