Grape

Syrah or Shiraz, Viognier

Origin
From top South African producer Boekenhoutskloof, located in Franschhoek, comes this fashionable blend of Syrah and Viogner. Fraschhoek is northeast of Cape Town and winemaking there was very much influenced by the Hugenots.
Taste
Slightly perfumed with aromas of ripe juicy plum and black berries, rich and smooth on the palate with rich plum flavours, some spice and floral notes.
Enjoy
The ideal partner to full flavoured meat dishes.

    Not sure...............

    Although I would never normally buy a wine with a screw cap on principle, I thought I would give this one a go given some of the reviews that I had read, and not just at Majestic. I quite liked the wine, however, it gave me it gave me a very black tongue!

    2010 - Very tasty and unbelievable value

    Having just come back from 5 weeks in South Africa and tasting a lot of red wine I believe this is incredible value. Very drinkable without food, good combination of flavours with a good finish. Majestic have a bad habit of rolling reviews across years when clearly a 2010 can be quite different to the 2011, something to watch out for. This review is for the 2010.

    A stunning wine and great value

    sensational red blend of Syrah and Viognier . The Viognier adds a slightly perfum to the ripe, spicy flavours of the Syrah.

    Ordering more!

    Usually I stick to Chilean reds, but thought I'd give this a try as I'm a fan of their sauvignon blanc. Very happy to report it's delicious - full of flavour and satisfyingly chewy. Will be enjoying more of it in future!

    Splendid Value

    Comes from one of our favourite Franschhouk stables. (The Chocolate Block from this producer is exceptional and expensive even in SA). This wine is good, smooth and easy to drink (too easy!!). I recommend this with good meat, cheese, or just by itself. We will be ordering a constant supply.

    Fruity

    Soft, supple & very fruity! If you like dry reds with tannin this is probably not for you. If you like approachable fruit bombs, give it a go (bit of a bargain at £5.99 at the moment)

Staff Reviews

  • Grat value

    "When this wine is not on offer, it sells pretty well because it is very fruity, and Syrah Viognier from out side of France is not as well known (and not often noted on the label). On our Spring promotion at 20% off, it represents amazing value, and is almost certain to sell out. Soft rasbery flavour, well intergrated tanin, can be enjoyed on its own, but great with a bit of red meat!"

  • big and smooth!

    "This is one of my favourite South African reds. For less than £7 it is an absolute bargain. It's incredibly versatile, even though it is big and full bodied, it can be drunk on it's own thanks to the abundance of jammy fruit. I especially enjoy this wine with a nice piece of steak!"
