This 2014 Syrah from Stark-Conde represents a mature expression of Stellenbosch's classical approach to the variety. The wine displays the characteristic peppery minerality and dark fruit complexity that the estate's terroir imparts, with an underlying elegance rather than extraction-driven power. At a decade from vintage, the tannins have evolved into a refined, integrated structure that complements the wine's subtle oak influence. Pair this wine with slow-roasted lamb shoulder or aged Gouda to fully appreciate its measured intensity and developing secondary characteristics.
