Description

Splurge on the magnificent 2022 Berry Bros Swartland Red by the Sadie family. It’s a wonderfully seductive Syrah with layer after layer of fat, fleshy, spicy incense and bramble fruit.

Jane MacQuitty, The Times (February 2024)

We’re thrilled to work with the legendary Eben Sadie for our Swartland Red, a new addition to our Own Selection. Eben has planted some incredible new vineyards over the last decade. In the future, he’ll use the fruit of these young vines for his own signature wines. But for now, he is working exclusively with us on our Swartland Red and Swartland White.

The precise blend will change from one year to the next; our 2022 Swartland Red is made from 100% Syrah fruit. With pure, freshly picked raspberries on the nose, the palate has deep, fleshy, bramble fruits and gravelly minerality. A delicate umami note lingers on the invigorating finish.

Critics reviews

Julie Sheppard 94/100
Berry Bros has joined forces with top South African winemaker Eben Sadie to produce its own-label Swartland red – and it's a stunner. From young vineyards that will eventually provide fruit for Sadie's own wines when they're more mature, this is 100% Syrah. Beautifully expressive with appealing aromatics of floral red fruit dusted with white pepper. Such energy and presence on the palate; pure, luscious cherry fruit, fresh acidity, a core of minerality and a savoury glimmer on the lingering finish.Drink 2023 - 2026julie_sheppard, Decanter.com (September 2023)
