Intellego Syrah 2021
35,70 €
Intellego Syrah is a red wine produced by Jurgen Gouws from Intellego, in Swartland, a region of South Africa. It is the company's Signature Wine, the first label created. It is made exclusively from Syrah grapes, which Jurgen fell in love with while working in the Côte Rôtie. The grapes come from vines planted in 1999 on granite soil, whole cluster semi-carbonic maceration for 10 days and ageing in 500 litre barrels for 10 months. The palate is fresh and vibrant, bright while the nose is varied, with floral and spicy hints. A fusion of personality and finesse. Try it with lamb!

Swartland, South Africa
Intellego is the brainchild of Jurgen Gouws, and was founded in 2015. Jurgen is a young producer with a wealth of experience behind him, gained from working with big companies around the world.
We speak in particular of Terroir al Limit in the Priory and Matassa in the Languedoc (both featured on Apewineboxes) and further experiences between France, New Zealand and Russia.
From 2010 to 2014 he worked in Lammershoek, side by side with the most visionary producer in all of Swartland, that Craig Hawkins who obviously influenced his style.
Intellego's philosophy involves minimal intervention during the winemaking process.
The work in the vineyard could be described as intuitive viticulture, an evolution through experimentation on the small patches of land selected in the Swartland Appellation.
Jurgen's true passion is the work that takes place in the vineyard, practical, understanding seasonal influences and adapting based on constant observation of the terroir.
The great aim is to create optimal soil conditions through organic practices in which the vines will be cultivated for an indefinite period of time. Creating the conditions so that each block has its own individual character and grows in an environment beneficial to the plant and its roots.
