Cape Swallow Syrah 2022 Per Case

Cape Swallow Syrah 2022

A poised, structured Syrah with dark fruit, pepper spice, and a mineral-driven finish.

The 2022 vintage followed a cool, extended winter and mild spring, delivering low yields, small berries, and strong aromatic intensity. Hand-harvested fruit was fermented in open-top fermenters with gentle punchdowns, with a portion of whole clusters included for lift and spice. The wine matured for 16 months in seasoned French oak, with no new oak used, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve texture and authenticity.
