This syrah is a brooding expression from 2025. Here we have black plum, pepper, cardamom spice, deli meats, with a whiff of dark chocolate.
The palate is super vibrant with flavours of Doris plum, red currant and spiced red cherries. The wine has a very sleek feel, the tannin is a highlight, lifting and shaping the flavours, extending them long through the finish.
Vinification & Elevage: The fruit was partially destemmed as whole berries, with 30% left as whole bunches for fermentation. It was then pressed into French oak foudre for maturation and malolactic conversion, spending 10 months in oak before bottling.

“Plum, blackberry, blackcurrant, plenty of pepper and spice, a bit meaty, black olives rolled in dried herbs. It’s medium-bodied, lively almost fresh tomato acidity, a bit of meaty truffle-like stuff, a grainy graphite grip to tannin, almost there for me in terms of cool-climate Shiraz, though the sour tomato tang rides a bit to high in the wine for my tastes, especially on the finish.”
– Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, August 2026
Sourced from Syrah clones PT23, Great Western and 1654 from our vineyards in Coldstream.
