Revenant Wild Ferment Syrah 2023
Shiraz / Syrah
Description
Revenant Wild Ferment Syrah 2023 is produced by Waterkloof Wines, the acclaimed Helderberg estate overlooking False Bay in Stellenbosch. Waterkloof has built a reputation for environmentally conscious farming, natural winemaking practices and wines that reflect site and variety with clarity. The estate’s elevated vineyards benefit from cooling maritime breezes, helping retain freshness and structure in the fruit.
The Revenant range reflects Waterkloof’s more adventurous side, focused on expressive wines made with minimal intervention. Wild fermentation using indigenous yeasts allows the wine to develop naturally, adding savoury detail, texture and complexity. This approach suits Syrah particularly well, highlighting both ripe Cape fruit and the variety’s natural spice.
Colour:
Deep ruby with a youthful purple edge and good depth in the glass.
Nose:
Aromatic layers of blackberry, plum and black cherry lead, followed by cracked black pepper, dried herbs and subtle smoky spice.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied, with juicy dark berry fruit supported by savoury notes and fine tannins. The wild ferment character adds texture and complexity, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. A classic Syrah pepperiness runs through the palate.
Finish:
Long, dry and gently savoury, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a touch of earthiness.

Revenant Wild Ferment Syrah 2023
- Food Pairing : Revenant Wild Ferment Syrah 2023 is an excellent match for flavourful, smoky dishes. Pair it with lamb chops on the braai, beef short ribs, venison pie or grilled mushrooms, where the wine’s peppery savoury notes echo charred flavours beautifully. It also works well with rosemary roast chicken or rich lentil dishes, as the fresh acidity keeps the palate balanced while the tannins add structure.
