CB71SYR18
From the 48yo Cullarin Vineyard established by Dr Edward Riek. Hand-picked, part destemmed, 15% whole bunches, fermented with cultured yeasts, pressed to 1-3yo French barriques once dry and matured for 12 months. The absence of new oak hasn't distressed the wine in any way, there's an energetic display of vibrant red and black fruits, finely grained tannins and a long, fresh finish.
Deep red colour with purple hues.
This wine has intense and vibrant white pepper, raspberry and cherry aromas and flavours, typical of Northern Rhone Valley Syrah of France. The palate is subtle, complex and long due to a perfect natural acidity and velvety tannic structure. It is a perfect example of cool climate Canberra District Syrah. It has been aged in French oak barriques (10% new) for 12 months before filtration and bottling in April 2019. no fining.
