Reseñas de Críticos de Vino
The Damascene 2024 Swartland Syrah, released in 4,230 numbered bottles, is dark and concentrated, with a plush, velvety texture and a sweeter, fleshed-out nose. Peppery stems, black fruit and charred aromas mingle with notes of dark bread crust, giving the wine a Syrah identity that feels confident and complete. The wine sees 75% whole-cluster fruit. Swartland’s iron-rich, heat-retentive soils deepen color and amplify savory complexity while maintaining elegant texture.

The 2024 Syrah Swartland comes from three sites, one échalas, predominantly on schist and shale soils, 75% whole cluster and matured in 2,000-litre Austrian foudres. Wow, this has a stunning bouquet with camphor-tinged black and blueberry that bursts from the glass, yet there is still real elegance here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, silky in texture (totally different to the Ceres Plateau cuvée that is more powdery), a little sweeter towards the finish yet structured with a dash of cracked black pepper and a hint of garrigues. Deeply impressive.
