The secret sauce of the 2021 Syrah? It’s all about those stems, mate! We whole-cluster pressed every last berry from this wicked hillside vineyard perched on red volcanic soils. Translation: you’re getting all the smoky herbs, cracked black pepper, and a hit of wild sage in every bottle. Who knew stems could be the bloody rock stars of winemaking? They crank up the texture, bringing a perfectly balanced tannin structure to this medium-bodied red with a savory edge that screams Syrah all the way. This vintage is bursting with luscious dark fruit vibes but still floats like a bat out of hell on the palate. Picture black cherries, boysenberries, and just a cheeky splash of blood orange zest. When the fruit stormed into the winery, we went proper old-school with a foot stomp before letting it kick back and chill for a few days. The weight of the fruit at the bottom of the bins worked its magic, delivering a playful touch of “carbonic chaos” to the mix. The result? A wine that’s juicy, electrifying, and absolutely brimming with character. Pop it open now for some immediate gratification or stash it until 2031 to watch those savory and fruity layers jam together over time. Either way, this Syrah’s here to bring the noise—one glass at a time!
