Gabriëlskloof Syrah on Shale 2017
From a top estate in Bot River, part of cool Walker Bay, this is a rich, powerful and complex red. It’s from Gabriëlskloof, founded in 2001 in beautiful countryside, and now really performing. This is a fine, structured Syrah that will go on giving.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
The founder of Gabriëlskloof, Bernhard Heyns, started out as a brick manufacturer. But come the turn of this century he decided to live the dream and began to search for a vineyard. He found a farm in Bot River, Walker Bay. Windswept and with soils of sandstone or clay-shale, it seemed just right. Bernhard planted vineyards, built a winery and restaurant and did OK. Then his daughter married renowned winemaker Peter-Allan Finlayson of Crystallum fame. Peter declined at first to get involved, but has done so since 2015, and the results have been outstanding! The 2016 of this terroir driven wine scored very highly indeed. Hand-picked, wild fermented, aged in French oak for 18 months, 30% new, it is rich, yet elegant and will improve with age.
