R144,90Price
A velvety Syrah with a black currant, garrigue and mocha aromas, and ripe fruit and Smoky flavours on the palate. The delicate sensation of minerality present in Baleia?s food-driven wines is an expression of the natural salts found in the soils and prepares the palate beautifully. Best enjoyed with a traditional indigenous curry or delicately spiced Karoo lamb.
