Trizanne Signature Wines Syrah Reserve 2016

Trizanne Signature Wines Syrah Reserve 2016

Svelte.

By working with Elim vineyards to make her Syrah Reserve, Trizanne Barnard of Trizanne Signature Wines says she is looking for a counterpoint to the warm-climate examples of the variety which predominate and the wine certainly is less powerful than many.

In the case of the 2016, the wine shows a reductive top note before red and black fruit plus a little white pepper. The palate is medium bodied with fresh acidity and fine tannins. It’s a nicely understated drop, already quite accessible. Price: R210 a bottle.

Editor’s rating: 91/100.
