An eye-catching wine from Bendigo, hitch a ride on the pleasure train that is known as the Sutton Grange Estate Syrah. A show stopper, this is my first look at this wine, and whoa, it is in the zone!
Silky and delicate, you get a sense it floats through the palate. Made with 40% whole bunches and seeing French oak for ten months (35% new), the distinct aroma of violets makes itself known and I'm already fixated. Blackberries, cherry liqueur and canned plums build a compelling case with licorice, boot polish and herbal tea bring savoury intrigue. The shimmer of granite minerality threads through the palate. Complex, layered and irresistibly moreish, it champions the charms of Victoria's Bendigo region. Winning!
