Their interest is in individual vineyards and the people tending them, with organic farming and a light hand guiding the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dark Side gives Syrah room to show its perfume, with restrained handling in the cellar. Violets and pepper sit above dark berries and a fresh, supple palate. There is depth here, but the wine carries it lightly. A good bottle for grilled lamb, mushrooms or lentils with herbs; give it a little air and let the floral detail emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Swartland lies north of Cape Town, in a dry Mediterranean climate. Its vineyard landscape includes decomposed granite, shale and other old rock formations. Warm days develop ripe fruit, while the differences in exposure and soil make the choice of site important to freshness and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Wine Freedom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58994724340086,"sku":"23TGBRDF","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/2556\/0124\/files\/Web__TOM0745.jpg?v=1791986632","url":"https:\/\/winefreedom.co.uk\/products\/web-tom0745","provider":"Wine Freedom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
