Frankland River Syrah harvested by moonlight and fermented for ten days with some Viognier skins tossed in to lift aromatics. This is a great drink.
Loaded with dense plums and blackberries, the sweetness of cedary oak slides in later. A fury texture similar to peach skin is feathered through the mouth. Bottled without fining or filtration with minimal sulphites, granite soils peer through as it gets in deep and shows a meaty edge scattered with black pepper. This is a campfire and barbecue wine done well. Long and moreish, it will even take a slight chill.
Drink to three years.
