Lelie Van Saron Red Blend Jade Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley 2020

This Syrah-based blend comes from vines planted between fields of indigenous fynbos in close proximity to the ocean (about 4-8 km as the crow flies). With the influence from the cool Atlantic Ocean, the valley is considered to be an exceptional cool-climate winegrowing region.

Natasha really liked the spice of the Petit Syrah, which she felt was more satiny and elegant than traditional wines of this variety and complimented the peppery Syrah nicely. Her only regret last year was not making more of it, so this year, she increased production by 100%!
