What it tastes like
Intensely aromatic, with black plum, dark cherry and blueberry, lifted by green peppercorn, fennel, liquorice and wild herbs. Medium-bodied and finely structured, with firm, savoury tannins and a distinctive salty, coastal freshness.
Lovely with
Excellent with grilled lamb, venison, duck, beef or slow-cooked meat dishes. Also particularly good with black olives, rosemary and Mediterranean herbs.
The story behind it
Winemaker Sam Lambson created Minimalist Wines to explore the character of cool-climate Syrah. Stars in the Dark comes from the challenging Cape Agulhas coast, where strong winds, low rainfall and shallow shale-rich soils produce small, concentrated berries. The 2025 vintage marks the first wines made in the producer's new Cape Town cellar.
If you like these, you'll love this: Fans of Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph and sophisticated Northern Rhône Syrah, particularly those who enjoy peppery, savoury reds rather than heavily oaked Shiraz.
