Description
#33 in The Enthusiast 100, 2025. Aged for 18 months in oak, this rich, full-bodied wine exudes a seductive spicy nose of mulled black plum, blackberry, cherry, lavender, and clove, framed by a firm granitic edge. The palate is focused with black fruit at its core bolstered by a firm mineral backbone. Vibrant acidity keeps it lively, making it approachable with aeration or ideal for cellaring through 2032+.

Varietal
Syrah
Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet’s most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn’t easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
