2023 Project - Tempranillo Syrah

Colour Vibrant ruby red with black tints.

Nose Bright red and black fruits of cherry, raspberry and blackberry preserve with exotic spices of musk, sandalwood and vanilla bean.

Palate Structural yet juicy, this wine is bright and refreshing. Tempranillo provides cherries and sarsaparilla, while the Syrah brings blackberry fruits to the fore. Dusty, chalky tannins provide rustic form, whilst hints of herb (mint, basil) and spice (musk, aniseed) provide lift & complexity.

Tempranillo and Syrah were co-fermented before being basket pressed to a combination of seasoned French and American oak barriques for 15 months maturation.
