Meinert Syrah 'The Graduate' 2020 75cl

From Meinert in South Africa, The Graduate 2020 is a Syrah shaped by a cool Hemel-en-Aarde site and a notably long growing season. Ripening takes place around two weeks later than the producer’s other fruit, bringing a style with delicacy and intricacy rather than weight.

The bouquet shows lilies, cloves and cream, while the palate is delicate and nuanced, with a character reminiscent of Pinot Noir. There is plenty to unfold in the glass, making this a thoughtful bottle for slower drinking now, while its structure also supports further ageing for 5 to 10 years.
