Richard's Cape South Coast Syrah 2014
About the wine
Angel-funded, Syrah from South Africa's spectacular Cape South Coast
- Richard spent 8 years crafting top-notch, luxury wines at an uber-premium winery in Stellenbosch - so he knows exactly how much love and care it takes to make a spectacular Syrah.
- He headed to the spectacular Cape South Coast... home to some of the finest Syrah grapes South Africa has to offer.
- The result is a blissfully silky and pure Syrah with a perfect peppery lift. Oh, and because your Angel funding was the magic ingredient to getting the price down - you're getting a serious bargain.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Kershaw
- He's a tip-off from Rod and Richard proved he is seriously wine savvy when he became a Master of Wine. Not bad for a man from Sheffield!
- Angel funding gave Richard the jump his one-man business needed, allowing him to tap into South Africa's huge potential to make spectacular wines without hiking up the price.
- Unlike the show-off wineries in South Africa, Richard dreams of owning a shed to make wine in. So you're not paying for fancy cellar doors, marble floors, and Michelin-starred restaurants. Just raw winemaking talent, great grapes, and a shed.
