Poppy Syrah 2022 is a once-off bottling from the acclaimed Lukas van Loggerenberg, grapes sourced from a Polkadraai Hills vineyard just below the one that supplies the highly-rated Graft. Winemaking involved 50% whole-bunch fermentation, before maturation lasting 11 months in 500-litre barrels.
The nose shows ed and black berries, fynbos, olive and a light note of pepper while the palate is hearty and comforting – dense fruit, moderate acidity and soft tannins, the finish nevertheless savoury (alc: 13.5%). Succulent, round and, without overstating it, great fun to drink. Price: R205 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 92/100.
