Description

The 2021 Moyston Hills Vineyard Syrah is from a cooler season that avoided heat spikes and luckily avoided late season rains. Disease pressure was minimal and the vines delivered very small berries with exceptional flavours.

It was fermented with 30% whole bunches in open fermenters, pumped over only as needed and left on skins for four weeks. It was then run to 3000lt french oak foudre, along with a couple of older puncheons.

It shows explosive regional spice, black olive, dark chocolate and cassis with blackberry fruit flavours on the seductive palate. It’s followed by fine, savoury persistent tannins and cleansing acidity to finish.
