Wine Press: Made from 29-year-old vines and sporting a robust 14% alcohol, there is a genuine earthy tang here derived from hand-picked fruit that is treated to ‘whole-bunch-cake’ treatment, and this layering of stems and fruit imbues both plush fruit and thrilling acidity in the core of this wine. There is Barbera-like, plummy purity here and with one-third new 500L puncheons employed, there are some direct carpentry tones on board, and with peppery spice completing the picture, this is a gorgeous, modern wine which is perhaps not necessarily a classic Syrah, but it is certainly a Passel Estate GPS-centric wine.
Our old-vine Syrah is planted north-south, thus benefitting from even sunlight and warmth on either side of the canopy throughout the growing season. Fruit is dry grown, with multiple passes throughout the season to arrange and manipulate shoots and leaves, thus achieving the best balance of light and shade for our stylistic aspirations. Each individualvine is fruit thinned to help it reach its ultimate height of quality and intensity.
Tasting Notes: Dark red in colour with purple hints. A bouquet of black cherries, graphite, baked orange and cracked allspice. A focused and elegant entry on the palate defined by poised
acidity and cherry skin tannins. Richer flavours of black plums and ground cacao underpin an otherwise lithe expression of fruit and floral aroma.
