2020 Passel Estate Lot 71 Reserve Syrah

2020 Passel Estate Lot 71 Reserve Syrah

2020 Syrah

Margaret River, Western Australia

Select rows of hand-picked fruit, whole cluster ferment and matured for 16 months in large format French oak puncheons.

From $68.00 per bottle

    Description

    Tasting Notes: Dark red in colour with blue flecks. Lifted aromas of cherry blossoms, nori and cracked white pepper, underpinned by subtle dark sheaths of black plums and allspice. Coating red fruit tannins introduce a velure palate laced with Eastern spices, dried flowers and a succulent yet soft acidity. A bristling finish of red cherries, thyme and lingering minerality.

    Winemaking Notes: Selected rows were hand-picked at first light. 40% of the perfect clusters were gently placed in the bottoms of our open fermenters, after which the rest of the fruit was destemmed and placed on top as whole berries. For the first 5 days of the fermentation each open fermenter underwent gentle pigéage 3 times a day, ensuring that the cap was only gently rearranged and that none of the clusters beneath were broken or disturbed, allowing each berry to undergo its own unique internal fermentation, thus adding multiple layers of complexity to the aromatic and textural foundation of the wine. Towards the end of the ferment the whole-clusters were gently broken with each pigéage to slowly release the sugar and aromatics into the wine. After a full 14 days on skin the wine was gently separated from the skins and transferred straight to oak to complete fermentation. It was then matured for 16 months in large format French oak puncheons, 40% of which were new, with bâttonage every 5 – 6 weeks.

    "A vintage primarily remembered for Covid also produced exceptional red wines in Margaret River. They are wines of tremendous fruit intensity and good balance. This refined and sophisticated wine of great elegance captures the essentials of the vintage. The tannins have a slightly sinewy edge but sit neatly while the liberal use of oak is balanced and supportive. "

    "The wine offers elegant poise and refinement with alluring complexity, showing dark berry, dried herb, cured meat, warm mushroom and toasted nut characters, followed by a finely flowing palate that's juicy and expansive. Tannins are polished and beautifully integrated, offering structure and length with an engaging, sophisticated finish. "
