2023 Syrah - Warramate
Medal One
Medal Two
Fragrant violets and mixed plum fruits make for an elegant and fragrant wine, gently fruitful with a smoky charcuterie interest entwined with a pink peppercorn spice element. Medium-bodied in weight reflecting it’s cool climate origins, with an undercurrent of red and blue fruits, and a glossy, richly layered palate supported by some stalk tannin structure.

2025 Halliday Wine Companion - 5 Star Winery
Winemaking
Whole berry and whole bunch (20%) ferment brings a succulent fruit profile, a pleasing stalk lift to the nose and fine yet firm tannin profile to the palate. Hand plunging aids in the gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tactile palate components. Maturation for 15 months in various format French oak prior to bottling, 10% new oak for a subtle influence.
