    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    An iron-rich single vineyard in Elgin, unusual in an area dominated by shale, Lismore’s Sheltering Sky is a highly distinctive and complex Syrah, certainly one of the finest (and most sought after) South Africa has to offer. Dark berries, red plums, blood orange, violets and salt lead in to a fresh herb and pepper-laced palate, with a cool, firm tannic backbone, crisp acidity and long, focused finish. Fermented with 100% whole bunches and aged in 25% new 500L barrels for a year. Just 44 cases were submitted to the auction.
