2022 Whole Cluster Syrah
Tasting notes
White pepper, potpourri, dark chocolate, blackberry, black olives, and red apple skins on the nose with a fresh and lively mid-weight palate reflecting the low alcohol of this Syrah. Enjoy with grilled meat, mushrooms, or a hard cheese of your choosing.
The grapes were hand-picked on Sept 20 and were sorted and gently placed whole-cluster into an open-top fermenter. Foot trotting for the first days allowed for the native fermentation to get established and completed after 10 days. The grapes were gently basket pressed and racked to neutral French oak to age until June 2023.
