An aromatic nose of blueberries, dark cherry fruits, floral and spice notes. Medium to full bodied, blueberry, plum and dark cherry fruits burst onto the palate. Vibrant fruit combines with notes of red flowers, cacao and layers of cooking spice. The hallmark sandy/biscuity tannins of Blewitt Spring linger on the palate.

Partially de-stemmed, 10% whole bunch retained the rest as whole berry. Wild yeast fermentation for 10 days. Post fermentation the Syrah was pressed off skins and transferred to a combination of 2nd and 3rd use French oak puncheons and hogsheads for 16 months. A deliberate use of a gentle French oak regime allows the fruit and vineyard characters to be showcased.
