95 Points: James Halliday Companion

Crafted from the soul of the Barossa Valley’s Stone Well sub-region, this Syrah is a bold yet elegant showcase of what makes Barossa wines world-class. Imagine walking through a vineyard scattered with pink quartz, where every grape is kissed by cool nights and warm, sunlit days. That’s the essence of this wine.

With vibrant aromas of blue fruits and red currants, it’s a fragrant symphony that dances out of the glass. But it doesn’t stop there—on the palate, you’ll discover a textured, mid-weight masterpiece. Layers of dried forest fruits mingle with hints of exotic spice and a subtle minerality, finishing with silky, powdery tannins and a savoury edge that keeps you coming back for more.

This isn’t just a wine; it’s an experience—crafted with 50% whole cluster fermentation and matured in French oak puncheons for 10 months to bring out its unique Rhôney style. Whether you’re enjoying it now for its vibrant freshness or cellaring it for 6–8 years to watch it evolve into something truly extraordinary, this Syrah is a must-have for your collection.

95 Points: James Halliday WIne Companion

"Syrah from the subregion of Stone Well, 50% whole bunch, matured in French oak puncheon for 10 months. A distinctly Rhôney style; modest in alcohol and packed with ripe plum and cranberry fruits, pressed wildflowers, exotic spice and meaty nuance. Spacious and savoury on the palate with a light floral tilt, fine powdery tannin architecture and a stony, amaro-flecked exit. Damn fine drinking." Dave Brookes
