Kleinood Tamboerskloof John Spicer Syrah 2016

£94.99
Tax included.



Selected with intention

The 2016 Kleinood Tamboerskloof John Spicer Syrah from Stellenbosch is a masterful expression of cool-climate Syrah, crafted with precision and restraint. Named after a key figure in the farm's history, this wine showcases the potential of South African Syrah to rival the Northern Rhône. The nose is captivating, offering a complex blend of black pepper, smoked meat, olive tapenade, and dark berries, with subtle floral notes and a distinct garrigue character. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with firm yet supple tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides freshness and lift. The fruit is savory and pure, complemented by notes of spice and a long, mineral-driven finish. This 2016 is drinking beautifully now, but possesses the structure to age gracefully for another 7-10 years.

Wine Storage & Cellaring

Whether you are building a private cellar or storing a single case, optimal conditions are key to the longevity of fine wines.

  • Temperature: Maintain a stable environment between 10°C and 13°C (50°F–55°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations.
  • Humidity: Ideal humidity is 65–75% to prevent corks from drying and oxidising the wine. Excessive dryness or dampness can damage labels and seals.
  • Light: Wines should be stored in complete darkness or very low light. UV rays degrade wine and fade labels - particularly detrimental to Champagne, rosé, and white wines.
  • Position: Store bottles horizontally, especially those sealed with natural cork, to keep the cork moist and airtight.
  • Vibration & Movement: Wines should rest undisturbed. Avoid storing near appliances, heating systems, or areas prone to movement.
  • Ventilation: A clean, odour-free environment is essential. Strong smells - from paint, cleaning products, or wood treatments - can seep through corks over time.

For clients collecting wines of significant provenance or value, we recommend a professional-grade, climate-controlled cellar or long-term storage with a bonded fine wine warehouse.
