Staanspoor Syrah 2022

By , 11 October 2024

Staanspoor is a collaboration between Pierre Puren and Pieter Vermaak, two Jeffreys Bay wine enthusiasts, and winemaker Angus Paul. Their maiden release is a Syrah 2022 from a vineyard on Polkadraai Hills property Karibib (price: R350 a bottle).

Winemaking involved 50% whole-bunch fermentation before maturation lasting 16 months in 225-litre barrels, 25% new.  The nose shows red and black berries, floral perfume and cracked black pepper. The palate is none too scrawny and nicely structured – succulent fruit, bright acidity and crunchy tannins, the finish long and dry. Alc: 14.2%.

CE’s rating: 93/100.
