Description
"Brilliantly fruited and wonderfully expressed, the attractive bouquet shows dark fruit, blueberry, black olive and subtle spice characters. The palate is beautifully ripe and rounded, and displays pristine fruit flavours together with elegant pepper undertones, making the wine flavoursome and tasty. This is bright and flavoursome, and offers terrific value. At its best: now to 2020." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2017.
The vineyard site has ideal ripening conditions for achieving the intense aromatics and delicate structure that Syrah can give. The wine has aromas of violets, dark summer berries, and mixed spices. It’s exotic and aromatic. The palate is elegant and full of dark black berry flavours with a long complex toasty finish. Fruit for this wine was held cold for four days before fermentation to help extract maximum flavour and colour. The wine was aged in a mixture of French oak and stainless steel and underwent malolactic fermentation before being prepared for bottling. Perfect for drinking immediately this wine will continue to develop and delight for at least 5 years.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with wild duck or venison.
