Old Road Wine Co. Pepper Wind Syrah 750ml
The Old Road Wine Co. tells the story of special vines grown in the rugged corners of the Franschhoek wine country. These lofty vineyards are guarded by a local Verreaux's eagle, nesting on the rugged eastern slopes of the Franschhoek mountains. Local legend has it that the South Easter wind, that cools these slopes in the summer months, carries the peppery spices that add unique flavour to this wine.
Tasting Note
An intense wine with layered ripe berries, natural spice and exceptional structure. It is characterised by an excellent balance between bright, juicy fruit and integrated, spicy oak, with a coated acidity and earthy minerality. This makes for excellent structure, with a finish that is moreish and refreshing.

Tried this Syrah, quiet phenomenal with characters of sweet plum, white pepper and medium Acidity.
Great cool climate Syrah. Soft tannins, berries and pepper notes feature in this wine. Can be paired with anything from a great burger to a classy steak. pepper oak dark fruit leather
Great wine. Easy to enjoy with a meal such as a nice steak. Strong fruity after taste that lingers in the mouth that makes every sip a lasting joy.
The best example of a cool area shiraz in SA!!
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
