Postal Stone 2020 Syrah Western Cape, South Africa
THIS JUST IN: Our Postal Stone Syrah was awarded the South African Syrah of the Year at the 2023 New York International Wine Competition!
Our Postal Stone Syrah is dark and decadent with rich black forest fruit and spice notes. Since South Africa's first grapevines were planted in the 1600s, Syrah has become the country's second-leading red grape variety. The Benguela Current flows upwards along the Western Cape, transporting icy waters from Antarctica. This powerful current plays a vital role in South Africa's wine history and climate. As sailors braved its turbulent waters following historic trade routes, they took refuge in local ports to refresh supplies. This brought business to developing wineries along the Western Cape. The same winds that challenged these mariners are responsible for Syrah's success. Cooling breezes help grapes ripen slowly, creating flavorful fruit with potent aromatics and structure. Our 2020 vintage offers a taste of this dynamic history as an excellent example of South African wine. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
