{"product_id":"de-meye-syrah-2024","title":"De Meye Syrah 2024","description":"De Meye is a small, family-run estate tucked into the Stellenbosch winelands, where a focus on simplicity and hands-on farming shapes the wines. The vineyards benefit from a mix of decomposed granite and clay soils, contributing both structure and freshness, while the broader Stellenbosch climate allows for even ripening and varietal clarity.  The winemaking philosophy is deliberately low-intervention - careful vineyard work, hand-harvesting, and minimal handling in the cellar. Oak is used with restraint, aiming to frame the wine rather than dominate it. The result is a Syrah that leans toward a more honest, site-driven expression: balanced, lightly savoury, and approachable without losing structure.  Colour: Deep ruby with a bright, youthful edge.  Nose: Ripe red and black berries - plum and raspberry - layered with black pepper, subtle spice, and a hint of fynbos. A light smoky note adds depth.  Palate: Medium-bodied with soft, fine tannins and a smooth texture. The fruit is juicy but controlled, supported by gentle spice and fresh acidity. There's a savoury undertone that adds interest without making the wine feel heavy.  Finish: Clean and moderately long, with lingering spice, red fruit, and a soft, dry finish.","brand":"De Meye Wine Estate","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":45946423017651,"sku":"RW2428SH19","price":170.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/DeMeyeSyrah2024.jpg?v=1788437791","url":"https:\/\/www.wineofthemonth.co.za\/products\/de-meye-syrah-2024","provider":"Wine of the Month","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
