Classy Syrah here from a classy producer.

This Paritua Stone Paddock Syrah is a bright food friendly wine. The palate is velvety soft while the finish is firm with fine tannins. This wine will benefit from cellaring, drink from now till 2032.

An aroma of damson plum, red currants and violets, baking spice, clove with a hint of white pepper, charcuterie and smoky oak. The palate is elegant and plush with fruit flavours of fresh red plum and boysenberry, five spice and white pepper to round off the finish. Drink from now up until 2032.

Two clones of Syrah are grown in our Triangle vineyard. Soils are stony river gravels with a silt loam cover. The loam top layer varies in depth from 50cm deep to being completely absent. This causes some variation in ripening, with the silty areas producing slightly higher degrees of pepper notes and the stones providing the riper floral and fruit spectrum. Fruit thinning is essential, and the canopy is fastidiously managed to allow good sunlight and airflow over the grapes.
