Winery | Having pioneered a new extremely cool climate region in South Africa, Samantha chose to release an Estate Reserve range to illustrate what the Greyton vineyards are capable of. The Overberg region is rapidly earning a reputation for premium, cool-climate grapes. Greyton is a designated ward, recognising the unique expression of terroir in the wines produced there. The wines are made from very low-yielding vines planted 300 meters above sea level in the foothills of the Sonderend Mountain Range. The soils are decomposed shale over the clay, and the vines are dry-farmed, contributing to the wine's deep concentration. One of the coolest climates in South Africa, the extreme diurnal temperature shifts create a Syrah that has a very distinct sense of place. Low mean temperatures during February contribute to an extended ripening period, resulting in a harvest period three to four weeks later than in traditional wine-growing regions in South Africa. The long hang-time encourages concentrated flavours, while the cool evenings retain natural balancing acidity, resulting in a very elegant Syrah. |
