From the cellar. This is 100% Syrah given a ten-day, whole-bunch carbonic maceration before being pressed back into tank. This had completed fermentation 6 months later, rather than in the usual 2 years, so was bottled early with no additions, in spring 2022.

As such, it's a more lifted and vibrant expression than previous vintages. There is an underlying, almost peat-y smokiness to the nose, but balanced with a pastel perfume that hits the top notes. The palate pure juicy black olive and blackcurrant and the line of acidity is taut with energetic vim. 

Some bottles that are in a fine spot after being sat in the cellar since we first released this wine in late 2022.
