Gabrielskloof Syrah on Shael 2022
Bot River, South Africa
The fruit was hand-picked into small crates and transferred directly into our cold room, where it remained overnight. More than half of the crop was destemmed, with the rest left as clusters. The wine was fermented wild in small, open-top fermenters with extended post-fermentation maceration. Aged in 500L barrels for 14 months, with second and third-fill French Oak used.
A richly perfumed nose of violets, pepper and blueberries leads to a pure-fruited and opulent palate showing darker berries and black olives. A stony, textured mouthfeel from powdery and expertly integrated tannins supports the fruit’s weight as fresh acidity lifts the wine and gives it a balancing freshness. The finish is intense, deep and long.

Winery Profile
Gabriëlskloof is the realisation of a dream for South African Bernhard Heyns, who searched for several years to find the unique piece of land that would ‘root him to the spot’. Local farmer Barry Anderson had heard about Bernhard’s mission and arranged to meet him on a windy summer’s day in 2001 at a farm called “Avontuur” on the outskirts of Botrivier. Both immediately recognised the potential of this piece of land (at the time covered with wheat and canola, and home to a few wandering sheep) and soon after, Bernhard bought what is today Gabriëlskloof.
