Polkadraai Hills

Medium

Cork

Quite restrained and herbal on the nose, then enjoyably acidic and herbal on the palate. No lack of body, yet it’s a fresh, piercing and defined style of Syrah. Perhaps a bit ascetic, but certainly has finesse; and, crucially, the tannins are ripe. The more you taste it, the more you like it. Good value.
