Lukas van Loggerenberg Graft Syrah 2021 Stellenbosch

From the Polkerdraai in Stellenbosch, this is a compelling syrah made with whole bunches of grapes in the fermenter, giving a wild and slightly savage style with black pepper, schistous angles, petrichor and a hugely mineral finish. Wonderful stuff from this superstar of the Cape that no lover of northern Rhone syrah can afford to miss. We might say Cornas meets St. Joseph!
