PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

De Trafford is a small family winery at the end of the Upper Blaauwklippen Road in the mountains above Stellenbosch. Established in 1992 by architect David Trafford and artist wife Rita with the focus on high end red wines of great intensity and longevity, using minimal intervention production methods. The De Trafford Syrah 393 2013 is a medium deep purple red colour. Forthcoming spicy, blueberry fruit, herbal (fynbos) notes and white pepper on the nose. Great intensity and complexity, though in a lighter, more lifted style than usual and similar to the 2007. Palate also shows more elegant, firmer tannins with more mineral notes dominating.
