"(aged for 18 months in French oak) Bright ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of raspberry liqueur and licorice. Concentrated and densely packed, with saline, mineral and dried fruit notes firmed by sappy acidity. Nicely creamy in the middle despite its uncompromising dryness. Lingering finish features mocha and smoky oak. The aim of winemaker Trevor Mast is to make a more elegant, less jammy style of Barossa shiraz."

Produces rich, full-bodied Shiraz from some of the world's oldest vines, defined by ripe dark fruit, spice and power.
Syrah, also known as Shiraz, is a red grape valued for deep color, dark-fruit flavors and a savory, spicy character. Blackberry and plum are common, often accompanied by violet, black pepper and smoked-meat notes. Its wines range from fragrant, medium-bodied expressions to rich, full-bodied reds, with structure and texture shaped by climate, vineyard site and winemaking. France's northern Rhône Valley is a benchmark for Syrah, with appellations such as Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage and Cornas showcasing its aromatic complexity and structure. In Australia, where it is usually labeled Shiraz, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale are known for generous fruit and depth, while cooler regions can produce more restrained, peppery styles. The two names refer to the same grape and do not by themselves guarantee a particular style. Syrah is made both on its own and in blends, including combinations with Grenache and Mourvèdre. Some producers also co-ferment it with a little Viognier. Structured examples can develop additional savory complexity with age, while many wines are crafted for enjoyment in their youth. This combination of fruit, spice and versatility gives Syrah a distinctive identity across a wide range of regions and styles.
