Limitados Syrah

Enjoy with grilled meat, mushroom dishes and seared tuna.

Situated on the lime-rich soils on the cliff banks of the Duivenhoks River, Baleia is a unique terroir standing alone on this beautiful district of the Cape South Coast. A stone’s throw away from Sebastian’s Bay and the towns of Vermaklikheid and Stilbaai, the wines smell of the ocean!

2022 had a very dry spring and early growing season but ended off with a wet late December and January. This led to one of the earliest harvests for Baleia. A bright fruit vintage with a natural racy acidity.

The conglomerated soils provide the ideal struggle for the Syrah grapes resulting in small, concentrated bunches. A gentle approach in the cellar is needed to balance this intensity and showcase the incredibly mineral soils in which this wine is grown, which also means a judicious oaking regime. Only the finest barrels are selected for bottling, adding a touch of exclusivity to this limited production offering.
