Jordan ‘The Prospector’ Syrah

Stellenbosch, South Africa

The gold rush of the 1800’s led to the discovery of tin beneath Jordan’s Syrah vineyards. Indeed, an application to start prospecting and mining was submitted, threatening the entire Estate.  Fortunately, public support was overwhelming to protect the winelands and the application was thwarted.  ‘The Prospector’ Syrah was created as a reminder of those uncertain times.

This wine was matured for 16 months in a combination of French and American aged barrels.  Look for notes of charcuterie and white pepper amongst an abundance of red fruit flavours.
