2019 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Syrah - Magnum
Our philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of our site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression.
The 2019 season was characterised by a warm and extended summer. The wines are intensely flavoured, yet poised and balanced, ensuring their longevity.

Winemaker Notes
The fruit was handpicked and gently de-stemmed into traditional oak open fermenters. A small portion of whole bunches (20%). After 10-14 days on skins, the wine was pressed into tight grain 500L French oak puncheons for malolactic fermentation and maturation. The wine remained in oak for 11 months and was racked once during maturation. Bottled Feb 2020. Alc 14%
Tasting Notes
A perfumed and spicy Syrah, medium-bodied in style. The palate is concentrated and silky, with finely structured tannins, bright fruit characters, wonderful elegance and depth. Cellared carefully, this magnum will age gracefully for at least 15 years.
