2022 Passel Estate Syrah
2022 Syrah
Margaret River, Western Australia
A gentle style of shiraz with a dark fruit core, laced with black and green peppercorns and Eastern spices.
Description
Tasting Notes: Dark purple with red and blue flecks. On the nose, white pepper, allspice, cured meats and red plums, hints of rosewater and raspberries. The palate is focused and tense, boasting fine lines of red fruit tannin, laced together by flavours of black and green peppercorns, glazed plums and blackberries. The finish is textured and flavoursome, revealing yet more layers of summer berries and Eastern spices
Winemaking Notes: Picked in the early hours of the morning, our Syrah fruit was destemmed directly to the fermentors as whole berries, resulting in slower and more controlled extraction of tannin and greater retention of fruit based aromatics. A cool ferment on skins for 14 days was followed by a gentle pressing straight to barrel. The wine was matured for 10 months in a combination of French Oak barriques and puncheons, 30% of which were new, and underwent bâttonage every 5-6 weeks.
