Note di degustazione
The Damascene 2024 Stellenbosch Syrah shows greater richness and dark-fruited volume compared to the Ceres Plateau bottling, delivering a broader, more blocky and muscular expression. There is depth and density here, yet the wine remains controlled and site-aware. Stellenbosch’s warmer pockets and granitic soils naturally build mid-palate weight, shaping a Syrah of substance and authority. Production totals 3,720 bottles.

The 2024 Syrah Stellenbosch comes from the Karibib Vineyard on granite soil, matured in 2,000-litre Austrian oak. This has a more subtle, reserved nose compared to the Swartland Syrah, black olive and seaweed infusing the mainly black fruit that blossoms in the glass. The palate is very pure, a little grippier in style, plenty of body and depth with a hit of peppercorns towards the detailed and persistent finish. The best of the three Syrahs from Damascene this vintage and a wine surely destined to age gracefully over the next 20 to 25 years.
