Syrah //​ Sigurd

Bona fide Syrah, with one foot in the Old World. It is dark and spicy with black olive to the fore, then surging through the mid-palate are bright, lifted, black fruit flavours.

Winemaking

This was a 14 day ferment with around 20% whole bunch in 1000-litre vats, pressed to a mix of used French oak hogsheads and 15% new French oak from Cognac forests with a very light toast as to not impact the fruit. Elevage was for about 14 months.
