There’s an inky pepperiness with a subtle liqueured prune character and dark chocolate notes, albeit slightly understated.  The texture and brightness of the palate is a feature.  It is also a wine that is unafraid to show its tannins. Winemaker Rob Mann says it is inspired a lot by what is drunk in Europe.  He has adopted a similar oak regime to the Grenache and makes it in a reductive way so there is no pumping over. The whole bunches and berries go into upright older oak vats where it is left achieving a slightly carbonic style.  Of course, all this is possible because of the fastidious approach adopted by owner Matt Swinney in the vineyard where the search is for the best bunches on the vines.  It’s an obsessive and uncompromising approach which yields just 3 tonnes to the hectare.  A wine that redefines Syrah in much the same way the Grenache has redefined that variety. \u003cstrong\u003eRay Jordan - The West Australian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swinney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151527395649,"sku":"AU00122","price":169.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/7959\/0465\/files\/AU00122_6a6fbddc-070f-4efd-a9f8-4359365251af.jpg?v=1715064328"},{"product_id":"delas-freres-hermitage-les-bessards-rhone-2020-1500ml","title":"Delas Freres Hermitage Les Bessards Rhone 2020 1500ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eInky violet.
