Glenwood Grand Duc Syrah 2023
Glenwood Vineyards sits amid the historic, cool-breezed slopes of Franschhoek, where old-vine Syrah thrives with balanced ripeness and intensity. The top-tier Grand Duc range represents Glenwood’s commitment to precision in the vineyard and careful winemaking; only the best parcels and grapes are selected for this serious Syrah. For the 2023 vintage, around half of the whole bunches were fermented in small open fermenters, encouraging savoury complexity, before extended maturation for about 20 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. The result is a wine that reflects both varietal purity and the layered nuances of Franschhoek terroir.
Colour: Deep dark ruby in the glass, hinting at concentrated fruit and structure.
Nose: A complex bouquet of ripe red berries opens first, framed by spice and light peppery notes, with subtle oak-derived hints of vanilla and cedar.
Palate: The palate is rich and velvety, with concentrated blackberry and plum flavours layered with gentle baking spice. Soft tannins lend a polished texture while balanced acidity keeps the wine poised.
Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering red fruit and spice - a finish that complements both hearty and refined food.
- Food Pairing : This Glenwood Grand Duc Syrah 2023 is a great partner for slow-roasted lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, where its spice and red fruit carry through the rich savoury notes. It also stands up beautifully to grilled beef sirloin or char-grilled lamb chops, as the wine’s gentle tannins tame the fat and echo the meat’s flavour. For a slightly contrasting but equally harmonious pairing, try it with spiced mushroom and lentil stew, where earthiness and spice intensify the wine’s layered profile.
- Drink before: Enjoy now through 2035 with development of even greater spice and complexity.
