Description
The 2020 is an excellent expression of the Gravel Hill Syrah. On the nose, it reveals underbrush and dried herbs, complemented by an intricate blend of savory spices, cinnamon, and black pepper. Red fruits and berries dance harmoniously with subtle hints of coriander and smoke.
On the palate, its initial elegance gracefully unfolds into a bold and vibrant expression of red berries intermingling with a rich tapestry of warm spice and earthy, savory notes.
With firm tannins promising great ageing potential, this wine is destined to evolve into an even more extraordinary masterpiece over time. Built to age to its betterment for up to 20 years from vintage.
