Pinot Noir 2020Syrah 2019 Tasting Notes Plethora of pastel fruit dominance on the entry, exploding into an array of red berry fruit aromas, combining plum, raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry. Layered with a spectrum of rooibos, pomegranate and polished leather to complete this delightful maritime origin Syrah. The spontaneous fermentation of whole bunches is captured in a tempting black olive tapenade bouquet while the touch of Viognier adds a perfume of violets. Impressive density of succulent fruit flavours on the palate, with mouth-filling plum and berries. Firm yet rounded texture with fine, lingering, polished tannins. A hint of Mourvedre adds a suggestion of tobacco and dark spice. Focused tension and poise on the finish. Wine Composition 85% Shiraz 7% Viognier 6% Grenache 2% Mourvedre Technical Analysis Alcohol: 14.26% Residual Sugar: 2.5 g/l Total Acidity: 5.7 g/l pH: 3.47 Oak Maturation 11 months in French Burgundian oak, mostly neutral and second fill French oak barrels plus 15% new oak to emphasize the fruit from these delicate and elegant Syrah sites. Mainly spontaneous fermentation and fermented in a combination of open top punch down and delestage in tank fermentation vessels. Malolactic in barrel.
