The rim would likely just be starting to show the first hints of garnet, suggesting some early development while still clearly youthful overall. The wine would present as clear and bright in the glass, with slow, stained legs indicating elevated alcohol and good extract consistent with a full-bodied style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the nose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the nose, expect a pronounced and complex profile built around ripe black fruit such as blackcurrant, blackberry and black plum, supported by red cherry and perhaps a touch of mulberry. Oak influence would reasonably show as notes of cedar, sweet spice, vanilla and a hint of smoke or toast, integrated with subtle savoury tones like tobacco or leather as the wine begins to evolve.

Flavours should echo the nose, with layered blackcurrant, plum and cherry alongside cedar, baking spice, chocolate or mocha notes from oak, all supported by medium to medium-plus acidity that keeps the palate fresh.

Following a cool run-up to the season, sudden heat peaks in December and January resulted in sunburn damage on certain vineyard blocks. At the same time, we experienced unexpected rainfall, which led to high disease pressure that caused challenges in minimising the effects of powdery and downy mildew. As temperatures remained moderate throughout the rest of the season, the grapes took their time to reach optimum ripeness, and the start of harvest was delayed by 10-14 days.

Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, utilizing a specially selected yeast strain, with temperatures maintained between 24-26°C. During the peak of fermentation, pump-overs are performed every 8 hours to ensure the elegant extraction of tannins and color. The Grande Syrah is aged for 12 months in 500L French oak barrels, ranging from first to Fourth fill (30% new, 30% second fill, and 30% third fill and 10% fourth fill). After this, the best barrels are selected and blended in a 2500L foudre, where the wine ages and integrates for an additional 6 months.
