The wine oozes elegance from start to finish with layer upon layer of complexity. Every sip is an adventure. It is a very expressive Syrah expression with a red fruit profile of strawberry and cherry, which allows the floral and spicy aroma to be more expressive. The result is a cocktail of flavours and aromas held together by smooth tannin and bright acidity.

Ripe strawberry and black cherry are the cornerstones of this elegant Syrah. They underpin layers of white pepper, star anise, and jasmine that are prominent on every sip. Bright acidity and soft tannin complete the wine, and the finish is long floral, and spicy.
