Syrah 2022

2022

HARVEST
 
Grapes were selected from low yielding vines growing on the 
higher slopes of our estate on 8th March, 2022. Two cool climate 
clones comprising of R6WV28 and 2626 were combined to 
maximize the potential of the wine.
 
WINEMAKING 

The bunches were destemmed and fermented with 
approximately 10% handpicked bunches. The fermentation was 
carried out over a 14-day period and held on skins post ferment 
for 5 days. After light pressing, the wine was racked to small 
French oak barrels and matured for approximately 10 months.  

CHARACTER 

A medium- full bodied, aromatic wine with a deep violet colour. 
The flavours consist of black plums, rhubarb & dark cherries with 
fine, smooth tannins and fine grains. Fruitful aromas of black 
currants and blackberries. Approx. 10% of new French oak adds a 
hint of spice to the palate.
