Wonderfully perfumed with hints of red and dark fruits, pepper and earthiness. Medium- bodied on the palate with primary fruit expression beautifully balanced by fine tannin and subtle acid giving freshness and lifting the wine. The earthy and spicy notes give texture and depth to the palate and provide a savory and satisfying finish.

"The TSW Syrah from Trizanne Barnard of Trizanne Signature Wines has long been a go-to wine for characterful drinking that’s also affordable and the 2021 doesn’t disappoint. From Swartland grapes, maturation lasted 12 months in older 500-litre barrels. The nose shows red and black berries, olive tapenade and white pepper while the palate is medium bodied with lemon-like acidity and fine tannins. Not hugely intense just very pleasing and more-ish."
