Description

Express Winemakers Syrah 2021

A top-notch example of Syrah out of the Great Southern

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Syrah from Great Southern, Australia. The fruit is from 3 vineyards across Great Southern

Taste Profile: The wine is overflowing with distinctive cool climate Syrah characters, dark fruits, pepper and spice tied together on a velvety palate with fine tannin.

Winemaking Process: The grapes were all hand harvested and with good faith in our new gentle de-stemmer we reduced the percentage of whole bunch in the fermentations down to 15% this year. Elevage in a combination of neutral oak, slightly newer puncheons and a new concrete tank.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
