The violet ruby colour of the John Spicer Syrah gives a good indication as to what could be expected. On the nose the intense dark fruit, cherry and blackcurrant followed by charming violets and spice. This complex wine, even at this young age, expresses the integrated French oak very well, with notes of tobacco and fresh leather.

The reason for making the John Spicer Syrah is based purely on the outstanding and unique character of the wine produced by this vineyard year after year – wishing to keep it apart as the ultimate expression of our terroir, supporting the philosophy that great wines are made in the vineyard

Kleinood is a small farm with just twelve hectares of arable land. Of these, ten hectares are devoted to vines, with the remaining two under olive trees. The rest of the farm is left wild or planted with fynbos, roses and vegetables.
