Warning

Under the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998 it is an offence to supply alcohol to a person under 18 years (penalty exceeds $25,000) and for a person under 18 years to purchase or receive alcohol (penalty exceeds $1,000).

The fruit for this Syrah came from three sites in Tuerong at the northern end of the Peninsula.

'A medium bodied and vibrant Syrah boasting all the typical characteristics expected from a cool climate style.

The nose offers a complex array of fresh red fruits, think red cherries and raspberries. The fruit is supported by baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves), star anise, a little ink, tea leaf, forest floor and smoked meats – all-in-all a very complex nose. The palate shows fresh red cherry and cranberry, layered with spice, fine tannins and finishing with a supple, velvety texture. This a moreish and versatile food wine.'

Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.

WINEMAKING NOTES

The fruit was hand harvested and de-stemmed into 2 tonne open fermenters, followed by a short cold maceration period of between 3 and 5 days before wild fermentation. At the completion of primary fermentation, the grapes were pressed, and the wine transferred to French oak barriques and puncheons (10.% new) for malo-lactic fermentation followed by maturation for 11 months.
