Yarra Valley Seville Syrah

100% Syrah. Shows density to the sandalwood, dried violet and wild blackberry flavors, with mesquite and white pepper details that are intense and expressive. Very detailed on the long finish, revealing gravelly tannins. Sourced from a vineyard nestled in the foothills of the cool southern vales of the Yarra Valley where the grey loam soils show seams of deep red volcanic clay. Fermented with a high proportion of whole bunches and receives no additions other than a small amount of sulphur dioxide at picking and bottling. It is then aged in older French barrels before being bottled unfiltered and unfined. Maturing for 12 months in second & third year French puncheons. ABV 13.5%
