Robert Parker (RP) : 94+ Points (2019)

Beginning with a floral lift, the 2019 Granite Syrah is gorgeous and sashays with aromas of red and black spice with juicy red fruit skin and dusty red flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is refined with elements of violets, lilies and spiced red tea before displaying a mouthwatering mineral tension. The Granite Syrah continues to offer its secrets as it reveals layers of complexity upon the refined, fresh and thoughtful finish. Bravo, I'm going back for another sip!

Wine Spectator (WS) : 94 Points (2019)

A compact, creamy red, with broad shoulders and sculpted tannins tightly meshed with flavors of bitter cherry and currant, crushed peppercorn, dried lavender, graphite and stony mineral. Not a powerhouse wine, this instead carries its stature gracefully as the flavor range expands and lingers on the palate. Best from 2024 through 2034. 224 cases made, 15 cases imported. (5/2023)

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2015)

Lots of black plums, dark cherry compote, baking spices, vanilla and resin. Full body and tons of rich dark fruit, but it's so well supported by a stream of fresh acidity and a firm tannin backbone. A long finish. Drink in 2020. (6/2018)

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 92 Points (2015)

Attractive scents of brambly berry and red plum set the stage on the nose of this bright, spicy wine. A pleasant herbaceous, stalky note coupled with a peppery lift lend depth and complexity, while final flavors of church incense, cola spice and tilled soil unfold on the finish. The satiny mouthfeel offers plush tannins and an earthy, mineral texture that provides good grip to the close. Drink now–2026. (LB) (3/2018)

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 91 Points (2015)

The 2015 Granite Syrah was matured for 18 months in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit; white pepper and touches of clove develop with aeration. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish. This is very classy, perhaps just leaning to the powerful side of Swartland Syrah. (NM) (8/2018)

Mullineux
Syrah 2021

Our aim with our Syrah is to give true and complete expression to the Shale & Schist and Granite terroirs in which the vines grow. Approximately half the grapes are whole-bunch fermented and all fermentation is with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 11 months in French oak, 15% new. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined.

Chenin Blanc Granite 2021

The nose is flinty with some stone fruit and citrus aromatics. The palate is tight, long, flinty with notes of grapefruit and cinnamon-spiced apples. This wine exhibits a fantastic natural acidity that balances out the texture and mid-palate. A fantastic Swartland white with great ageing potential.

Olerasay 3° Straw Wine Chenin Blanc

100

The secret to this Straw Wine is harvesting Chenin grapes at normal ripeness levels to capture a healthy acidity. The grapes are dried outside in the shade until they are half raisined, concentrating flavours, acidity and sugar into a super intense, but balanced treat. Fermentation is in old French barrels with indigenous yeasts and can last up to a year. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined.
