Syrah
An awesome rendition of the variety, showing blackberry, sweet plum, tar, violet and almond characters, followed by a concentrated palate that's plump and richly textured.
The palate has a bright, fleshy edge and a core of juicy dark-cherry fruit that sits long, elegant and pure. I like the savory, complex style here. From organically grown grapes. Drink over the next six years.
Coming soon.
Organic.

Tasting Notes
This instantly approachable Syrah impresses with its dense, dark-red colour that leads to a bright and immediately inviting nose, exhibiting the classic cool-climate varietal spice and dark berry fruit aromas. A vibrant and energetic Syrah, complex, balanced and seamless on the palate with fine structure and texture, and finishes with a firm yet gentle tannin presence in the finish.
Winemaking Notes
No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. Vineyard certified organic (BioGro). Hand-picked between the 8th and 16th of April and co-fermented on “wild” yeast with 3% Viognier, retaining a high portion of whole berries. 13 to 18 days total time on sinks. Matured for 24 months in mainly used French oak barrels. One very light filtration prior bottling.
