Magna Carta Wines Uthando Syrah 2019

ABOUT THE WINE:

Stellenbosch is the engine room of the South African wine trade. There is A LOT of wine produced here. Vineyards stretch for as far as the eye can see. But there are also some of the most important wineries and estates situated here too, so it isn't only just about quantity, but quality too.

The fruit for this cuvée is grown in clay and granite soils, and the microclimate here is slightly warmer in comparison to the Franschhoek Syrah. The fruit is whole bunch fermented and pressed to old oak for ageing. This one is for the seasoned natural wine drinkers!

ABOUT THE WINEMAKER:

Mphumi Ndlangisa's wines are special. He is one the few Zulu winemakers in South Africa, and his approach to his winemaking has always been in the 'natural' vein. Low intervention, organic fruit, with very little (if any) additives. Up until now, he has only worked with négoce fruit, but excitingly, has just planted vineyards in the Koringberg in Swartland. Big things to come!
