Touriga Nacional / Syrah from South Africa
The 2023 shows the class of the vintage with a more tightly wound wine. Plums,
cherries and blueberries with an underlying oyster shell salinity and grippy
tannins. This wine will age beautifully over the next 10 years.
“This was a stunner last year, and it’s a stunner this year. Showing fabulous
definition of dark berry fruit, this is most reduced cuvée in the range, but it
offers amazing purity with that obvious Portuguese twist. The palate is mediumbodied with gentle grip, real weight and ample density. There’s plenty of blue
fruit on the mid-palate and a tender, black pepper/graphite-tinged finish. It’s a
supremely gifted wine.” — Neil Martin, Vinous
