Soft and rich with excellent structure and a soft texture. This wine is beautifully balanced with dark berry notes, fresh cracked pepper, with spice and a little wild herb on the palate.

Organically grown on the Gimblett Gravels, these vines are naturally low yielding. Tiny berries with intense flavour make this delicious Syrah expressive and vibrant.

Organic fruit was lightly crushed and fermented on skins. The grapes and must were carefully mixed each day for colour and once fermentation was complete they remained a further period on skins until the wine had gained its optimum texture before pressing. Maturation for 12 months in French oak barrels produced a softly textured, fruit-driven, complex style.
