Andreas Syrah 2020

Andreas Syrah is a Northern Rhone style Syrah with a touch of South African sunshine. It has a good mouthfeel with depth and balance and a lingering finish. It is dry, fruity, spicy with a touch oak. Think concentrated dry prunes and black cherries. It is powerful, with medium + tannins. Nestling in the Bovlei Valley, just outside Wellington, the Andreas Wine Estate is a hidden gem comprising 4.5 hectares of vineyards, an elegant eighteenth-century house and lush gardens. Long, hot summer days, cooled by late afternoon breezes, chilly, wet winters and decomposed granite and shale combine to provide the perfect terroir for Andreas’ award-winning Syrah. Andreas’ boutique size means they are able to exercise strict, hands-on quality control at each stage of the winemaking process, from the vineyard to the cellar. Everything from grape to bottle takes place on the farm. Led by Winemaker Shaun Meyeridricks, Andreas’ small team are dedicated to raising their award-winning Syrah to new heights of excellence
