TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

A brilliant deep red with a vibrant purple edge.

AROMA

Estate Vineyards Syrah ’22 immediately opens with ripe raspberry and red cherry appeal. The red fruit aromas – defined against subtle spices of white pepper, vanilla and cinnamon, and complexing notes of Turkish Delight and dark chocolate – adorn this wine with its signature floral quality, as well as vibrance and balance that run all the way through to its long finish.

PALATE

Silky tannins, red plum fruit and a creamy texture have produced an Estate Vineyards Syrah ’22 that is the ideal accompaniment to char-grilled meats, margarita pizza, or even a rendang curry – a wine as delicious as it is moreish and graceful.

VINIFICATION

The individual parcels of syrah from each plot were destemmed for fermentation and remained on skins for extended maceration before pressing. It was then run off to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for 12 months’ maturation, during which time it was regularly topped and racked. The wine received a traditional egg white fining before bottling.

FOOD MATCHING

Estate Syrah is a wonderful accompaniment to all red meats, savoury and lightly spiced dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, as well as soft cheeses.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Estate Syrah ’22 will continue to evolve in bottle for four years from harvest.
