Smooth and fruit-forward shiraz from South Africa. Easy-drinking and warming with round tannins and a spicy finish.
The Elements Syrah of Winery Julien Schaal is a red wine from the region of Walker Bay of Western Cape. In the mouth this red wine is a powerful with a nice balance between acidity and tannins. This wine generally goes well with poultry, beef or game (deer, venison).
Former sommelier and peripatetic winemaker Julien Schaal came under the spell of the Cape working the 2003 vintage in Hemel-en-Aarde. He and winemaker wife Sophie now pursue a seasonal commute between Alsace, where they produce grand cru riesling, and Elgin, where they build on a reputation for regionally expressive, elegant syrah and chardonnay.
