The 2024 Swanesang is pure Syrah from a hectare single vineyard in the lower Helderberg on duplex soils. It is mostly whole cluster crushed with just under 60% stems, natural ferment with 12 months in used barrels on the fine lees. This needs a few swirls to cohere in the glass, unfolding with mineral-rich black fruit, red peppercorns and fennel, less of the floral notes compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a bright entry. Plenty of backbone here but again, Bernard Bredell has imbued this Syrah with both elegance and transparency. So much energy on the finish.

Swanesang comes from a bush-vine parcel that was established in 1996 with the SH1a clone. Inky, intense yet refreshing, with clove and cumin notes from 60% whole bunches, it has layers of blackberry and charcuterie, serious tannins and top notes of lavender and incense. Needs a bit more time in bottle to soften. 2027-32
