November Wine of the month
The Francophile Syrah 2022, The Liberator
The Francophile Syrah is grown and produced at De Morgenzon in Stellenbosch. De Morgenzon translates from Africaans as ‘The Morning Sun’. This was the name granted to the farm by Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel in 1699 because the altitude and the orientation means that this estate is the first property in Stellenboschkloof to benefit from the sun’s early morning rays. This wine possesses the ripe fruit and sunny disposition of its South African origin, but with a nod towards the elegance of its old world relations. There is plenty of rich dark fruit - think brambles and ripe black cherry - and fruit sits alongside warming baking spices and savoury, smoky notes. All this is supported by smooth tannins and fresh acidity.
£12.50 per bottles
