- TASTING NOTE: "It sees a small percentage of new oak for its maturation period. Pours with an amazing and vivid purple colour, so lively and enticing. Beautiful fragrance of fresh cherries, sweet spices, pepper, choc-mint, maraschino and licorice. So fresh. Bright and almost crisp to taste, with more of the bouquet's characters in the palate, trim lines of silty tannins, a succulent, frisky finish in tow. A little zingy through that finish, the quibble. Aside from that, a pleasing, pitch-perfect rendition of syrah from Great Southern." 93 Points - Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: From the Wilkes Vineyard in Frankland River, the fruit was picked in the cool of the night, processed using the destemmer only (no crusher), to stainless steel static fermenters, inoculated for primary ferment, pumped over 3 times per day and left on skins for 10 days. Malolactic fermentation was encouraged during the primary ferment. The wine was then pressed to tank and subsequently matured in French oak barriques, 10% new. Blended with 2% barrel fermented Viognier.
