The style of Lievland Vineyards Heart's Ease Syrah is decidedly Stellenbosch: elegant and balanced with a light pepperiness and beam of fruit purity. Colour: Purple core with crimson edges. Aroma: Black cherry, damson plum, white pepper and cumin. Palate: Red fruits and pepper spices. Body: Taut palate, refined tannins and a lingering finish.
Lievland’s history dates back to 1715, when the original farm was granted to the ex-soldier Jurie Hanekom. Lievland lies on the western slopes of the Simonsberg mountains between Stellenbosch and Paarl, two of the most prominent wine-growing areas in the Cape. The climate, location, and soil on the slopes are conducive to the cultivation of high-quality grapes, and some of the Cape’s best-known wines are made here. Lievland is all about "the here and now", and their wines are made in a generous fruit-forward, well-extracted style.
