Tasting notes
The Signature Alani Syrah by Peter Falke reveals intense aromas of cranberries and cherries, complemented by notes of white pepper and a hint of vanilla, which add a spicy component.
On the palate this full-bodied red wine, which matured for eighteen months in French oak, impresses with its fine spicy character and silky tannins.
On the nose there are inviting dark fruits with aromatic notes of spice and red fruits. On the palate, soft, velvety tannins combine with the persistent mulberry fruit.
Grape variety Shiraz
From the grapes of the Syrah or Shiraz grape variety, two distinct styles emerge depending on the wine's origin and the way it is produced at the Winery. These differ significantly from each other both in aroma and in flavor.
The Shiraz wines have a very robust and fruit-forward flavor with aromas of cherries and plums. In addition, aromas of dark Chocolate are typical for Shiraz wines.
The Syrah wines have a comparatively lean and elegant character. In addition, Syrah wines are characterized by a spicy taste. Syrah wines also often display subtle wood notes and typical aromas such as cloves, cinnamon, pepper, forest floor or leather.
Both wine styles are characterized by a complex aromatic profile and a racy character.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
