Strandveld First Sighting Syrah 2022
Shiraz
Description
Nestled near the windswept Cape Agulhas and Elim in the far southern reaches of the Western Cape, Strandveld Vineyards thrives in one of South Africa’s coolest wine-growing climates. This exposure to maritime wind, quartzite-rich soils and fog-influenced growing conditions gives the Shiraz/Syrah grape here a distinctive combination of vibrant fruit intensity and savoury complexity. The First Sighting range reflects Strandveld’s heritage of producing approachable, everyday wines that punch above their price point - with minimal oak influence and careful fruit selection to showcase pure varietal expression from this unique terroir.
Colour: Medium ruby with a youthful purple rim, clear and inviting in the glass.
Nose: Expressive aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum and ripe blackberry are layered with hints of white pepper and toasted nuts, leading to subtle mocha and smoky spice notes.
Palate: Fresh and vibrant on the palate, offering juicy plum and tart cherry flavours supported by a touch of dark liquorice and savoury spice. Soft, fine tannins and medium acidity give structure while keeping the wine lively and drinkable.
Finish: Smooth and lingering, with gentle spice and fruit echoing long after the last sip.

Strandveld First Sighting Syrah 2022
- Food Pairing : Strandveld First Sighting Syrah 2022 complements richly flavoured, hearty dishes that mirror its fresh fruit and peppery spice. It’s at home with a classic South African braaied steak or boerewors, where its soft tannins and savoury notes balance the char and richness of grilled meats. Pair it with meaty tomato pasta or slow-cooked beef stew to bridge the wine’s acidity with robust sauces. For a contrasting yet harmonious match, serve alongside a mushroom and rosemary tart, where earthiness accentuates the Syrah’s subtle spice and dark fruit profile.
