Cirrus 2004 Syrah Wine

Vinification / Maturation:
This wine was matured for 18 months in a combination of new French and American 300 litre barrels.

This wine:
Appearance: Opaque

Bouquet: Floral aromas with jasmine and hints of pineapple make the initial impression. A mild spiciness and undertones of vanilla and cedar emerge as the wine opens up. The aroma component is consistent with that of darker fruits.

Palate: The structure that this wine displays on the palate is its most exceptional component. A pleasant chunkiness in the mouth with velvety tannins and juicy, intense plum fruit. Pleasing vanilla spice notes and blackcurrant fruit on the mid-palate. This wine shows a superb balance between depth and elegance.

Impression:I believe we succeeded in capturing the essence of a Rhone and South African style Syrah in this wine."- Jean Engelbrecht.
