Lammershoek Syrah "LAM" 2010
"Unfined & unfiltered. Dry Mediterranean climate, unirrigated old bush vines, granite soil. No yeasts, acid, enzymes or additives added. Just grapes." I was attracted to this text and decided to try a bottle despite almost only bad experiences with SA wines. But this really was nice. A bit reductive, benefits much from air, dark and sweet fruit as expected - Swartland is IIRC one of the warmer areas of SA. But crucially, the fruit isn't confected but maintains freshness. Good grip, delightfully high acidity, it has some serious bite to it. Elegant for a hot region and moreish.
