Our Black Label series is reserved for wines of exceptional quality. The combination of a warm growing season and a small crop has resulted in our 2023 Syrah being an intense and age worthy wine. The grapes were hand-picked on Oct 18 and destemmed into an open-top tank. Whole berry fermentation started with a Mediterranean yeast. The wine was aged in French Oak for 18 months.
This wine will benefit from another 3-5 years of bottle age. Food pairing suggestions include Lamb Kofta (our favourite!), Merguez sausage, and grilled ribeye steak with crushed black pepper.
