The 2021 Syrah was made from fruit grown across two of our
leased vineyards that we run organically (Merrebee and Trappers
Gully) and one owned and run by our friends that we consult to
(Lecco vineyard). The grapes were all hand harvested and with
good faith in our new gentle de-stemmer we reduced the
percentage of whole bunch in the fermentations down to 15% this
year. Elevage in a combination of neutral oak, slightly newer
puncheons and a new concrete tank.
The wine is overflowing with distinctive cool climate Syrah
characters, dark fruits, pepper and spice tied together on a velvety
palate with fine tannin.
