Originating from France's Rhône Valley, Syrah wine is a robust red with a rich, full-bodied profile. Exhibiting an aromatic bouquet of deep fruit flavours such as blackberries, plums, and blueberries, it often has a significant tannin structure. Spicy notes of black pepper, licorice, and roasted coffee are common, complementing a smokey undercurrent. Mature Syrah wines may develop soft flavours of leather, truffle, and earthy nuances. This assertive wine pairs excellently with robust dishes like grilled meats, bold cheeses, and rich stews. A glass of Syrah promises a complex, intensely flavoured experience for discerning palates.

Tasting Notes

This wine showcases a deeper ruby colour than in past vintages, thanks to the generous use of whole bunch fermentation. An inviting perfume on the nose, with generous amounts of red cherries, cranberries and rhubarb. Slightly more savoury elements of parmesan shavings and grapefruit pith add texture to the wine. On the palate, the wine displays an elegant finesse, with a juicy acidity, and an understated body that carries the red fruits incredibly well. The gentle finish and structure makes for a wine that could be paired with a plethora of dishes.
