Syrah 2016
With a deep purple ink colour, this voluptuous wine entices with subtle floral tones and plummy richness. The entry is juicy and bright leading to a round palate that combines flavours of ripe plums and dark chocolate. Rich, lingering fruit; firm but integrated tannins.
Winemakers Notes
The Shiraz and Viognier grapes were picked together in the last week of February.

Botanical Sketch
Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower – the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.
Herbae (Herbs)
Our Syrah has powerful perfumed aromas of fennel, thyme, rosemary, violet and oregano, much like one would experience whilst strolling through a herb garden.
