“Gorgeous aromatic lift on the nose, superb purity of black fruit which is still in the first flush of youth. Succulent, charming, bright, potent. Finely tannic grip on the finish with emerging liquorice aromas too. Charm, vinified.” 17+ Richard Hemming MW, Jancis Robinson
A stunning reflection of Margaret River Syrah. Its style is aromatic, rather layered and refined, finesse and elegance taking precedence over power and weight. The vines are planted in well drained loam over gravel, and maintain a finely tuned balance between rich fruit flavours and spice and peppery notes through meticulous attention to detail with regards to pruning and canopy management. Handpicked when both fruit and tannins have reached optimum ripeness, we have taken a very hands-off approach in the winemaking process. As always, the aim is to let the fruit speak for itself. A small amount of our Syrah was co-fermented with a tiny proportion of Viognier, handpicked from the Eastern most point of our Home block. The remaining Syrah was fermented with a parcel of whole bunches before the wine was carefully pressed off using our hand-operated basket press, with maturation occurring in French oak over a period of 12 months. The result is beautiful expression of a cooler climate Syrah, with lifted aromatics leading to a medium/full bodied palate and a depth that showcases a lingering smoky savouriness. Our Syrah has a juicy palate with dark blue fruit, old english mulberry notes, a myriad of spices and subtle hints of white pepper. An incredibly versatile wine.
