Plush, fresh, elegant.
Grown on the Golden Mile (albeit not on the sub-GI) Gold Hill estate vineyard, this savoury Syrah (blended with 3% Viognier) was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months prior to bottling. Notes of dried violets, plums and chocolate, black raspberry and smoked meat are layered with pipe tobacco, leather, white pepper and espresso. It has great bones and notable freshness, precision and concentration. Plums, purple berries, spice and cocoa flavours dominate. It's plush and elegant and a wonderful expression of a BC Syrah.
