DESCRIPTION
Stark-Condé Three Pines Syrah 2018 is a wonderfully expressive Syrah from the Three Pines vineyard in the Jonkershoek Valley (Stellenbosch), cultivated at high altitudes on soils of decomposed granite and clay. All grapes were hand-harvested, sorted, and fermented in tanks, and then aged for 20 months in French oak barrels (15% new). It features 14% alcohol and 2.0 g/L of residual sugar.
On the nose, black berries, pepper, and toasted notes. On the palate, powerful and harmonious with a remarkably lingering finish. Pairs beautifully with a game terrine or a grilled prime rib of beef. Aging potential of 15 years and more.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is arguably the most prestigious wine region in South Africa. Located in the coastal region of the Western Cape, east of Cape Town, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes and sheltered by the surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir of granite, schist and sandy soils makes it possible to produce both powerful reds and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also known for its refined Chenin Blanc, distinguished Chardonnay and expressive Syrah. Home to many iconic estates, the appellation remains a showcase of South African craft.
