TASTING NOTES
Using a combination of estate and off-site fruit has enabled us to produce a Syrah of purity and vibrancy. Suggestions of blueberry and cranberry define the nose along with a savoury complexity from extended barrel aging on full lees. This savouriness also contributes weight to the palate, the textural edge comes from suave and supple skin tannins. Enjoy now of cellar for 3-5 years.
