Critic reviews
"The 2022 Syrah contains two-thirds whole bunches. It underwent natural fermentation in concrete vats, with 90% matured in 2,500 litre Stockinger foudres and 10% in Stockinger demi-muids for 18 months. This has a clean and precise bouquet with mainly red berry fruit, lightly spiced, hints of potpourri and garrigue percolating through with aeration. The palate is very elegant in style with finely chiseled tannins, quite tensile and energetic, closing with a peppery finish that doesn’t outstay its welcome. It boasts a wonderful, slightly chalky texture. This is well crafted and should age with style. "

"A peppery and elegant syrah that has aromas of peppercorns, wild raspberries, chocolate orange and wild herbs. Full-bodied, tight and fine-grained, with a savory and more mineral finish. Around 60% whole bunch. Aged 18 months in foudres. Drink from 2025."
