Description
WINEMAKER: Dan Graham
VARIETAL: Syrah
REGION: Barossa Valley, SA
VITICULTURE: Organic
"The best Syrah we've made since our conception,a classic Syrah with a lovely mix of blue fruits and mulberry, and a hint of cedary oak holding it all together. For the Barossa, this is bright and balanced without being blousy and the fruit concentration follows through on the palate with a firm and silky tannin profile.
A 14 day ferment with around 30% whole bunch with a small addition of whole bunch Viognier (around 5%). Fermented in 1000L vats, pressed to a mix of used French oak hogsheads and 20% new french oak from Cognac forests with a very light toast as to not impact the fruit, elevage was for about 14 months and then bottled. A small amount of sulfur just before bottling. The block of Syrah is just outside of Williamstown I have been leasing it since 2014 and running it organically, alongside the addition of a new Syrah block from the block in Ebenezer. On sand and clay, it always shows brightness of fruit with soft delicate tannin profile."

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
