Benguela Cove Syrah 75cl

From Walker Bay in South Africa, Benguela Cove Syrah 2020 is a dry, medium to full-bodied red with 14.5% ABV. Made from Syrah and suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, it shows the savoury, cool-climate character noted in the source, with aromatic lift and a firm, youthful structure.

Aromas of rosemary, fynbos, dark fruit and pepper lead into a rich palate with juicy ripe tannins. Bold fruit carries through to a lingering salty finish, giving the wine a poised, savoury edge that suits robust dishes and slow-cooked suppers.
