The 2024 Syrah from Banele Vakele’s Tembela label is his most powerful and structured vintage to date. Sourced primarily from the renowned Karibib Vineyard in the Polkadraai Hills—with a smaller portion from Jakkalsfontein in the Swartland—this wine showcases South Africa's top Syrah terroir. Fermented with 80% whole bunches and aged in old 500L oak, it’s a vibrant, detailed red with both tension and depth. A wine rooted in community, place, and personal heritage.

Cracked black pepper, violets, wild herbs, and blackberry. The palate is bright, mid-weight, and taut, with fine-grained tannins and savory stem spice on the finish.

The Producer

About Tembela

Tembela Wines was founded by Banele Vakele, one of South Africa’s most inspiring new-generation winemakers. His story began in Khayelitsha, a township outside Cape Town, where a childhood daydream gazing out at vineyards during school sparked his passion for wine.

After earning a scholarship to a top school in Constantia, Banele’s curiosity eventually led him to study winemaking and work alongside some of South Africa’s finest, including Duncan Savage at Savage Wines in Salt River, where he continues to craft his wines.
