Description
In a nutshell:
A young, fresh, very limited production 'boutique' Syrah from near Stellenbosch.
The lowdown:
This vibrant, small production, single vineyard Syrah from Lower Helderberg in southern Stellenbosch is made by Bernhard Bredell, one of South Africa's rising star winemakers. Sustainable viticulture with minimal intervention is Bernhard's philosophy with emphasis placed on a sense of place with gentle "guidance" in the winery. A tiny 0.5 hectare plot produces the 1200 or so bottles of this highly rated vintage and we have been lucky enough to get our hands on a small amount of those cases. Fresh and aromatic on the nose, elegant and refined on the palate with blackberry, blackcurrant and red cherry fruits, notes of rosemary and wet granite, and a spicy touch.
The Producer:
Located in Stellenbosch's Lower Helderberg, Scions of Sinai was founded by Bernhard Bredell in 2016. Having grown up on a wine farm and subsequently working in wineries in both France and Spain, Bredell has always felt the desire to give back to his roots. He focuses on using natural methods and minimal intervention in the cellar to ensure the wines maintain authenticity to the vines and their roots. Why the name, "Scions of Sinai"? Scion, in biology, refers to the upper part of the vine or a young shoot and it also means descendant. Sinai refers the foothills of the lower Helderberg, where the Bredells have farmed for generations. From Sinai Hill, Bernhard sees both himself and his old bush-vines as the Scions of Sinai - descendants of this unique terroir.
When to drink:
Grilled lamb chops, pork belly or grilled vegetables.
Organic
