Tasting note
Ruby in colour, Tamboerskloof Syrah has a complex nose of garrigue (the combined fynbos aromas of rosemary, lemon verbena, lavender and marjoram that perfume the air at Kleinood), ripe cherry, fine spices, cassis, currant and ripe strawberry. The well-balanced palate shows dark plum, Christmas cake, Turkish delight and a fine hint of cinnamon. It finishes with soft, elegant tannins.
Viticulture
Kleinood ("small and precious" in Afrikaans) features 10ha of vines owned by the De Villiers family. Off-grid via solar power, water recycling, and biodiversity care, it supports local community projects. Their Tamboerskloof wines are highly ethical. Vines were planted in 2001 (7-Wire Perold system).
Vinification
Hand picked grapes, sorted three times before going into stainless steel fermenters where a combination of modern technology and old-style winemaking techniques take care of crafting our unique wine. Fermented at 26ºC for 14 days. 19 months in 500L French oak barrels – 16% first fill and the remainder in older barrels.
Food Match
This is a versatile wine, that pairs well with red meats, ostrich fillet, venison, Asian food and tomato-based dishes.
