Tembela Wines Syrah 2023
R336.00
“Tea leaf and savoury aromas on the nose follows through with white pepper as the wine opens. Notes of black fruit, a hint of fynbos and black pepper comes through on the palate. The wine shows good acidity and fine tannins, with violets and sweet spice coming through. Pairs well with venison and ribeye.” – Winemaker’s notes
