$440.00

Produced only in exceptional vintages, the Ouberg "Old Mountain" Syrah is the quintessence of what the extreme region of the Sutherland-Karoo has to showcase.

So what can you expect from this rare and unique wine? Black cherries, black currant, violet along with savoury hints of olive, white pepper and smokiness. Bold yet precise, with fine grained tannins.

Mount Sutherland

The town of Sutherland is a small and remote farming town known for three things, being the coldest town in South Africa, sheep farming and the home of the largest optical telescope in the Southern Hemisphere. At this point you'd be forgiven for wondering what telescopes have to do with wine? The answer is simple, location, location, location! 9th Generation winemaker Danie de Waal started producing wines on the high altitude hills (1500m) of this secluded town because it's low average temperatures cause a slow and extended ripening period. The result of which are intensified flavours and sharp levels of acidity, perfect for varieties like Syrah & Tempranillo.
