THE NEW 2007
SAMSARA SYRAH
Avondale, one of the leading proponents of biodynamic winemaking in South Africa, are releasing their new 2007 Samsara Syrah at a particularly propitious time. The name “Samsara” comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “to flow on” through the endless cycle of life, and as the soil recovers from the rigours of the harvest, and prepares – through the winter months – for the rebirth of Spring, it is a fitting time to recognise and celebrate its reincarnation with a new vintage of one of South Africa’s finest and most individual wines.
The 2007 Samsara Syrah is an elegant wine which focuses on refined flavours that develop over time. Sixteen different blocks of organic grapes were used, each handled in a way specific to the soil, aspect and age of vines, and the wine was then aged in small French oak barrels for between 12 and 16 months. Samsara 2007 is available from the farm at R335 per bottle.
