Anthonij Rupert Syrah is a bold yet refined expression of Franschhoek Syrah. Aromas of blackberry, plum and blueberry are layered with notes of white pepper, dried herbs, fynbos and subtle oak spice. The palate is plush and full-bodied, with ripe dark fruit balanced by savoury complexity, muscular structure and well-integrated oak. Pepper, graphite and hints of cocoa emerge on the long finish, creating a wine that is both approachable in youth and capable of ageing gracefully.

This wine is made from Syrah grown in the Franschhoek Valley. It is fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks, undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel, and is matured for around 18 to 20 months in French oak barrels, with a small proportion of new oak used to add complexity and spice
