Land's End6x Cape Agulhas Syrah 2020

About

Land’s End Wines, the first of its kind for the area, was established in 1996 by a group of like-minded friends and maverick wine-lovers who long saw the opportunity for Sauvignon grown along this raw, light-filled Cape Agulhas coast. 

The wines coming out of the area made waves through the industry for their distinct varietal character, depth of flavour and unmistakable saltiness. 

Today, Land’s End is produced by DTK Wines and consists of two tiers; both are bottlings of Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah, one is produced from grapes only sourced in the Elim and Agulhas area, while the other incorporates grapes from across the Cape South Coast, including Agulhas. 

The two iterations are distinct: low yields of these coastal plains, the long day lengths as well as the moderate temperatures during ripening deliver concentrated and complex wines of a defined mineral essence. The cool maritime climate coupled with the fierce winds imbues a unique sense of place in the wines.
