This Syrah from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley is a structured and expressive cool-climate red, balancing plush fruit with savoury complexity. Rich dark and red fruit notes are layered with spice and classic white pepper, reflecting the region’s refined Syrah style.
Extended skin contact builds depth and structure, while maturation in French oak, complemented by a portion aged in stainless steel, preserves freshness and regional character. The palate is generous yet composed, supported by velvety tannins and a focused acid line, delivering balance, finesse and length.
"A wonderfully perfumed Tasmania syrah with red and dark plum, raspberry, dark cherry and blueberry fruits with underlying hints of exotic spice, peppercorn, dried orange rind, pan juices, charcuterie, apple blossom and a light earthen note in the distance. Pure and juicy on the palate with detailed, plummy fruits daubed with spice and pepper. A savoury-leaning finish with powdered-sand tannins and a saline endpoint". 94Pts, Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion
"Inky purple in the glass, with intense, appealing aromas of violet florals and white pepper over black cherry and blackberry compote and a hint of vanilla. The palate is plush with savoury edges: a silky and velvety seam of fruit supported by grainy tannins and a grippy graphite finish. Delicious". 95Pts, Melissa Moore - The Real Review
