Go to the shopCrafted at De Trafford Wines in Stellenbosch, the Blueprint Syrah 2019 reflects the thoughtful, artisanal philosophy of David Trafford. Drawing from high-altitude vineyards rooted in granite-rich soils, this Syrah was made with minimal intervention, gentle extraction and careful maturation in oak to preserve purity and site expression.
Picture opening this bottle as dusk settles and the atmosphere grows warm and intimate. The deep crimson colour flows into the glass, the aromas rising effortlessly — signalling depth, precision and the unmistakable signature of De Trafford. Each sip brings you closer to the slopes of the Helderberg, where craftsmanship and South African heritage merge into a moment of luxurious enjoyment.
