WINEMAKING NOTES
While it combines elements of both the old and new world, our Syrah Cuvee Classique leans more toward what you would expect from France’s Rhone Valley – hence the name. While its sibling Cuvée Violette showcases the floral, graceful and perfumed side of Syrah, Cuvée Classique shows the dark, savoury, spicy and powerful side of this noble grape variety. The wine is nuanced and elegant, yet structured in its youth.
Expect notes of black peppercorn, iron, dark purple bramble fruits, hints of black olives, and aromatic herbs. Wisps of sage smoke and a hint of rosemary-crusted steak from distant forest fires add a unique allure. While youthful, the balance of flavours already shines, making this wine enjoyable now or an excellent candidate for mid-to-long-term cellaring.
