De Trafford
De Trafford is a Stellenbosch winery in South Africa's Coastal Region, recognized by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff for its Syrah program. The estate's flagship expressions—Syrah 393, Shiraz, and Cape Winemakers Guild Syrah—demonstrate the variety's potential in the region's terroir. Syrah thrives in Stellenbosch's Mediterranean climate and well-drained soils, developing the dark fruit intensity and peppery structure characteristic of the variety. De Trafford's focus on this single varietal reflects both the region's suitability and a deliberate winemaking philosophy centered on expression through depth rather than breadth.
