It has a wonderful, exuberant bouquet with ripe black cherries, blueberry and crushed white flowers with great definition and flamboyance. The palate is full-bodied with succulent dark berries, black olive, cassis, minerals and a touch of white pepper. Plush and vivacious on the finish, this should repay several years cellaring but will drink earlier than the Granite Syrah. Only 1,000 bottles have been released. Drink 2014-2020.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e‘Schist’ comes from a 17 year old vineyard on a steep east-facing slope (at Kloovenburg) that produces smaller berries with thicker skins, making a more masculine style of wine. Both wines were made with 100% stems, and 50% new wood. Two 500 litre barrels of each wine were made, which equates to 100 cases of each.

Meaty, tannic and backward, this is a wilder, more savoury wine, more Cornas than Côte Rôtie. It needs time, but the oak is beautifully done here, framing the wine to perfection.
