Syrah 2024

The 2024 Syrah from Banele Vakele’s Tembela label is his most powerful and structured vintage to date. Sourced primarily from the renowned Karibib Vineyard in the Polkadraai Hills—with a smaller portion from Jakkalsfontein in the Swartland—this wine showcases South Africa's top Syrah terroir. Fermented with 80% whole bunches and aged in old 500L oak, it’s a vibrant, detailed red with both tension and depth. A wine rooted in community, place, and personal heritage.
