2020 Sutton Grange Fairbank Syrah, Bendigo

A collaborative project following the disastrous spring frosts in 2019 that wiped out the 2020 crops. A blend of fruit sourced from Heathcote and North Harcourt. Matured 9 months maturation in French oak (15% new). In keeping with the Fairbank Syrah style, we see an elegant expression of the grape, deep and engaging in black fruits, blueberry, pepper, spice and chocolate. Juicy fruit on the palate is nicely wrapped in fine tannins, driving the wine towards a smooth finish.
