WOLF & WOMAN Syrah is a blend of two different vineyards. One being located North West of Malmesbury, situated in red iron-rich soils. The second vineyard is located close to the Riebeekberg Mountain and grows with in schist soils.

All of the grapes were hand-picked separately, packed in crates, and rested in a cold room for 24 hours. Bunch sorting was done the next day, after which the grapes were transferred to open-top fermenters (80% whole bunch) where it cold-soaked for 3 days before natural fermentation started, supported by two punch-downs per day to promote extraction.

Once fermentation was completed the wine was left on the skins for 12 days before we lightly pressed it and transferred it to 500L old oak barrels. The vintage was then allowed to mature for 10 months
