Description
Deep true red colour. Lovely fresh dark wild berry nose with salty slate, licorice/fennel aspect that seems to be a signature Malgas character.
Dense, juicy fruit palate envelopes the substantial, concentrated structure. Drinking well now, but expect it to go on and on.
Some complex, spicy fruitcake on the mid-palate and a long, dry, silky finish. Best between 2019 and 2027. Enjoy in a Spiegelau Bordeaux Magnum glass or something similar with a wide range of rich food.

The complex stony soils, together with a warm, dry climate (350mm) moderated by constant sea breezes provides an ideal terroir to produce a great wine.
A mix of top quality varieties from various origins of warmer climate were chosen, with Syrah as the core, to best reflect this remarkable site. All vines are grown as bush vines and sustainably farmed. No pesticides were used. 10 and 11 year old vines.

A beautiful pioneering wine estate in the middle of nowhere at the end of a long, dusty, bumpy road at the Southern tip of Africa. When David and Rita Trafford visited the Malgas region for the first time in 2000, they were blown away with the incredible soils specifically in the Lemoentuin area and immediately set about finding a suitable property to purchase. Today, Sijnn Wines are grown in Malgas along the Breede River - the only first growth appellation in the region.
