Critics reviews

Neal Martin 93/100

The 2021 Syrah Granite comes from Jakkalsfontein, planted around 1996. The lovely bouquet offers white pepper and clove, opening nicely in the glass but retaining subtlety and elegance. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly powdery tannins, dark berry fruit laced with graphite and cracked black pepper. It’s quite structured toward the finish, with an exceedingly long aftertaste. Impressive.

Drink 2024 - 2038

Anthony Mueller 94+/100

Made from 100% whole-cluster grapes, the 2021 Granite Syrah is dense with a firm, rocky core and fresh layers of spicy red and black fruit tones that erupt from the glass. With immense mineral tension and fine-grained tannins, this will need some time to come around but will indeed finish strong. Your patience will be rewarded; give the wine time.

Drink 2025 - 2041

James Suckling 95/100

Tobacco and blackberry fruit on the nose with some violets, olives and cracked pepper. Medium- to full-bodied with firm and very precise tannins. Mineral and focused, almost brooding.

About this wine

Swartland

Swartland

After Stellenbosch, the west coast district of Swartland (25 miles north of Cape Town, between the towns of Malmesbury and Piketberg) now ranks as the Cape's most exciting wine district. Its ancient geology has brought a mix of shale, arenite sandstone and granite soils air-conditioned by the Atlantic Ocean nearby. Chenin Blanc and Shiraz seem to do best, as exemplified by Eben Sadie and Mullineux.
