No Place Like Home is the second single-origin Syrah to join the Minimalist Wine family. The grapes all come from Niemandsrivier, a beautiful 3 hectare vineyard in Elgin. Planted in 2006, it features three clones on a geographically complex mix of Sandstone and Shale soils and is the perfect canvas to produce fine wines.

The winemaking is careful and precise with minimal intervention, like the name suggests. Each of the 4 picks was harvested separately, and completed their spontaneous fermentations over an average of two weeks, with 20% whole bunch and 1-2 punchdowns daily. Once pressed gently to tank, they were racked to neutral 228L French Oak, aged on gross lees through Winter, and racked again in Spring, before being returned to barrel where they each matured for a total of 16 months.
