Lelie van Saron Syrah 2020
$60.00I love Syrah,” says Natasha Williams, and it shows in the quality of her new release from a single vineyard in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Fermented with 40% whole clusters, it has pepper, violet and clove aromas, red cherry and tangerine flavours, stylish oak and a focused, racy, tapering finish. 2023-28. 93 points – Tim […]

Iggy Springton Eden Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Dark red colour, concentrated, and solidly structured, yet retaining the elegancy and finesse of Eden Valley. Lifted aromas of black currant, sour cherry, blueberry, dry sage, and a hint of leather. On the palate there is a sensation of bright acidity supported by well-integrated tannins. Aftertaste lingers, suggesting notes of liquorice. Think of succulent braised […]

Iggy Lyndoch Barossa Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Deep red, almost crimson in colour. Dense aromas of plum, black pepper, black currant, nutmeg, and a touch of smokiness. Aiming for savouriness rather than fruitiness here and showcasing elegance rather than robustness. Supple, yet very much present tannins with fairly fresh acidity. Pleasant mouthfeel with a long, persistent finish. Drinking well now but will […]

Iggy Forreston Adelaide Hills Syrah 2021
$50.00Typical Forreston Syrah character on the nose. Vibrant and complex. Notes of sour cherry, red currant, and even a touch of eucalyptus. It seems like with every sniff the bouquet gains another dimension. Deep red in colour with brighter hues around the edge. Mouthfeel is as mineral as one could expect from rocky soils on […]

Cobaw Ridge l’Altra Syrah Pinot 2022
$55.00Fragrant, floral and red berry compote. Light, yet awash with flavour and packed with energy. Pure and tangy red fruits of cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, cherry and plum. Salivating. The combination of mouthwatering acidity and fruit, flecked with vanilla bean is scintillating, finishing with lacy, snappy tannins. The best light red we tasted in 2023. Waters […]

Scions of Sinai Swangsang Syrah 2021
$75.00Syrah grown on decomposed granite, which lowers the wines overall pH, heightens freshness and accentuates perfume. Incredible Syrah here, with a taste not dissimilar to Eden valley Shiraz, but with a coolness and silken drive tensioned with such an incredible abundance of flavour. Baking spices, blueberry, violet, bitumen, dark cherry, cranberry and sweet raspberry. Pure […]

Swinney Syrah 2022
$45.00This is part of a triumvirate of wines that showcases the vineyard and winemaking that have crafted these super wines. This is not your fruit bomb Aussie shiraz. This is syrah and there is more than a little Old World style here. The fruit shows an almost luminosity that bursts from the glass. The […]

Spinifex Syrah 2021
$30.00Syrah from a selection of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, judicious use of whole clusters, matured on light lees in a combination of large-format vessels for around 8 months prior to bottling. Deep purple red in the glass, it’s a rollicking, crunchy, bright and sapid ride with a gorgeous plume of plummy fruit, […]

Syrahmi Demi Shiraz 2021
$32.00Beautiful wine. Plum pie and roasted nuts, trails of woodsmoke and undergrowth, leather and a whisper of truffle. It’s complex, fluid, medium in weight and confident in the way it traverses its complex terrain. It will mature well but, there’s really no need to wait as it’s joyous right now. 95 Points – Campbell Mattinson, […]

Timo Mayer Volcanic Syrah 2022
$60.00Syrah isn’t exactly the varietal that comes to mind when you think of the Yarra Valley, but in the past 12 months some of my favourite wines from anywhere have been Yarra Valley Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. More generous than I’d expected, plusher and the whole bunches play their part, but not overly so. […]

Bubb and Pooley Syrah 2022
$62.00Not the darkest Syrah/Shiraz I’ve ever seen, perhaps more evidence of Tasmania’s ambition and difference with their mainland counterparts. Stunning aromatics of Hoisin, Chinese Five Spice, blackberry, cassis, rhubarb, sweet raspberry, lavender soap, fennel and camphor. Pure and translucent, sensual and slick. Concentrated, elegant and mineral. Snaking shape, threading flavour and texture together. Spice flecked […]

The bouquet has warm spices, licorice and black fruits; superb mouthfeel, balance and texture, thanks to the shimmering tannins. Silk and satin rather than velvet.” 97 points, James Halliday, The […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021 (1500ml)
$90.00Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them. Incredible detail, herb, spice and fruit, beautifully flowing, long, silky and fine, tannins al […]

Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Syrah 2021
$55.00Tasting the No 2 and the Harcourt Syrah together, you are able to taste the estate’s DNA, the wines sharing many characteristics. Deeper in colour, extremely floral with lavender, violets and geraniums. The notes are darker, deeper and sweeter, with cassis, kirsch, star anise, herbs and cocoa. Rich, full bodied, voluptuous, baroque in lavish detail. […]

Arnot-Roberts Sonoma Coast Syrah 2021
$130.00Tasting sixty-odd American wines recently, the ’21 Arnot-Roberts Sonoma Coast Syrah was hands down my favourite. Sensual aromatics of sweet dark and red fruits, lavender, whole bunch spice and kirsch. 100% whole bunch is hard to imagine, as they in no way dominate or overpower the fruit. Juicy, sweet and tangy fruit – texturally the […]

Mullineux Granite Syrah 2020
$210.00The deep GRANITE soils on this Jakkalsfontein farm allow for deep root growth and a larger natural canopy. This is incredible for allowing the grapes to retain acidity and purity which ultimately leads to tight, yet fresh tannins and a more lifted perfume. Like all 3 Single Terroir Syrahs, this wine is 100% foot-crushed, whole […]

Hughes and Hughes Single Clone Syrah 2022
$49.00Fruit from a single vineyard in the Coal River Valley (Brinktop) was picked on the 3rd of May. The ‘1654’ clone of Syrah was fermented separately. Predominantly whole berry, 8% whole bunch, natural yeast, held on skins for 21 days while getting gently pumped over once a day while the ferment was most active (4-5 […]

Hochkirch Syrah 2021
$50.00The 2017 was the first Hochkirch Syrah we tasted. Revelatory; unique and detailed, we simply could not believe this was an Australian wine. The 2021 is a little deeper, with slightly darker blackberry fruit, structure, fine detail, gamey notes, freshness and a compelling herbal and spicy lift. Very fine, moreish and refreshing.

Mullineux Schist Syrah 2020
$210.00The SCHIST Syrah is grown on our Roundstone Estate in the Swartland, home of Mullineux. Planted in 2000, we have been working intimately with this vineyard since 2005 and it is the reason that we purchased the property. The structured SCHIST soils make for structured, broader tannins and create the darkest perfume of all our […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

Ossa Syrah 2021
$120.00Only 50 dozen made. There are very few wines tasted that set the heart racing, very few, but Ossa’s 2021 Syrah is one of those. Absolutely pristine fruit, the aromatics lifted, charming and deep. Blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, cassis, rhubarb, violets, black tea, minerals and savoury spice. Ossa’s wide plane is here, indeed the signature shape […]

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]

Mullineux Syrah 2018
$65.00South Africa has an uncanny knack of producing Syrah’s at a price and quality, that should embarrass just about the rest of the world. Serve this in a pinot noir glass. Intense bouquet of black, red and hedge fruits, with lavender, Asian spices and cumquat. Vivid, supple and expansive palate, so soft in the mouth, […]

$40.00Frankland River had a great vintage in 2019 and Swinny has cashed in big time, 2019 their best release to date. Expressive, complex and sensual with ferrous notes, geranium, smoked meats, black fruits and cumin. Tight, tense and spicy, with a fascinating structure. Round and voulumious, but focused by muscled tannins and abundant acidity. Black […]

Planted in the 1920’s The 2021 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Vieilles Vignes’ which is from very old vines (important with Grenache) literally across the border of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is by far the best example of this wine that I have seen, like his CNDP above.
