Technical & Tasting Notes
VITICULTURE
100% Syrah. The fruit was selected from a 1.67 ha block which showed good acidity levels and vibrancy.
WINE MAKING
The fruit was cold soaked for 5 days before being inoculated in open fermenters. The wine was left to ferment naturally with minimal winemaker influence.
TASTING NOTES
Brilliantly perfumed with red and blue berries lifted by floral notes. Medium bodied, the fine palate is juicy, vibrant and seamless.
Reviews
Vintage 2018
“A charming expression of the variety.. perfumed.. beautifully rounded and silky. It’s flavoursome and elegant at the same time, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2026.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“..Light, supple, a lick of spice drawn long across the palate. Juicy and fruit driven in the main, a light savoury aspect invoked by the spice. It’s a style that goes well in Australia, the fruit without being over burdened by oak, sufficient to take a light chill (or rather be served at an appropriate temperature for our climes)..” Stuart Robinson, Vinsomniac
“Aromas of blackcurrant cassis, black pepper spice, a hint of mint all wrapped in luscious black fruit nuances, complex and intense.. white pepper spice at the front. Layers of black fruits fill the mouth.. well balanced..” Stephen Read, Wine Matrix
