2023 Syrah, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Complex and earthy with pepper and dark fruits, perfect with lamb or slow-cooked beef
Deep and brooding, this wine reveals layers of fresh and dried dark fruits, white pepper, Christmas spice, and earthy undertones. Structured yet supple, it delivers depth, length, and a lingering, savoury finish.
The 2023 growing season in the Yarra Valley was marked by a cool, wet spring and a long, even ripening period. These conditions allowed for excellent flavour development, vibrant acidity, and balanced tannin structure, ideal for crafting refined, cool-climate Syrah with depth and character.
Crafted with whole-bunch fermentation and extended maceration on skins, this Syrah was aged in a single new French oak puncheon to build texture, spice, and complexity. The result is a powerful yet elegant wine that captures both the finesse and intensity of Yarra Valley Syrah.
Deep and brooding, this wine reveals layers of fresh and dried dark fruits, white pepper, Christmas spice, and earthy undertones. Structured yet supple, it delivers depth, length, and a lingering, savoury finish.
Perfect for chargrilled ribeye steak, beef short ribs, Moroccan-spiced lamb, barbecued meats, aged cheddar or gouda.
