Wolf & Woman Syrah 2023

Wolf & Woman Syrah 2023 pours a deep ruby hue and opens with a beautifully perfumed bouquet of red and black fruit — think mulberries, ripe plums and blackberries — layered with aromatic fynbos herb, a drizzle of star-anise and a touch of peppery spice

 On the palate, it’s medium-bodied but expressive: juicy berry and bramble fruits mingle with savoury spice, subtle earthy undertones, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity, resulting in a refined yet deeply satisfying finish

It’s a wine that balances depth and elegance — dark-fruited and spicy enough for hearty dishes, yet stylish and nuanced enough to enjoy with lighter fare.

🍽 Perfect Food Pairings for Wolf & Woman Syrah 2023

🔥 Beef (Best Match)

• Pasture-raised beef rump or sirloin — the wine’s peppery lift and juicy fruit match perfectly with lightly charred, flame-grilled beef.
• Beef short rib — slow-braised or oven-roasted; the wine’s savoury edge stands up beautifully to rich, fall-apart meat.
• Beef kebabs with rosemary and garlic — complement the wine’s herbal/fynbos notes.

🍗 Lamb

• Karoo lamb chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  Syrah loves lamb, especially when grilled.

🍖 Pork

• Pork belly, crispy and glazed.
  The wine’s acidity cuts through the richness and balances the fat.

🔥 Charcuterie & Lighter Foods

• Smoked meats, biltong or cured ham — the spice and meatiness work in harmony.
• Mushroom risotto or wild-mushroom pasta — earthy flavours echo the wine’s savoury undertones.

🍷 Serving Tips

• Serve slightly cool: 16–17°C for best balance and aromatic lift.
• Decant for 20–30 minutes: opens the floral and peppery notes.
• Use a Burgundy-style glass: enhances the perfume and elegance.
