Craven Wines - The Firs Vineyard Stellenbosch Syrah 2024

Craven Wines - The Firs Vineyard Stellenbosch Syrah 2024From a Devon Valley vineyard on clay rich soils. 100% whole bunch fermentation. The nose is wild and arresting with notes of red and black berries, lilies, pepper, fynbos and earth while the palate has good fruit density, lively acidity and rather severe tannins. This is intensely flavoured and has plenty of crunch but needs a year or so to settle down. 93 points, Christian Eedes, WineMag. co. za, March 17, 2022
