In fact, it is one of a number from several producers showing a new direction and exploration for Syrah from this region. The typical Australian model for Shiraz has been tossed out here.  It has an incredibly deep and dense colour, and once again the regional ironstone, ferruginous character comes through. 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-des-tourettes-rhone-2020","title":"Delas Freres Hermitage des Tourettes Rhone 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eInky ruby.

It’s more inherent than a flat-out feature and to be fair was present in the ’22 release, one ingredient in a complex range of scents and flavours that take in black cherry, plum, cassis with lifted aromatics in rose and pressed flowers and dusty cacao, bitter chocolate and, yes, spices with anise and pepper in the lead. Fruit, oak, tannins and spice are packed tight, an intense youngster that will age a beaut. In the meantime, it’s bright, it dances, it weaves, it’s a seamless engaging young Shiraz of the highest quality. \u003cstrong\u003eJeni Port, Wine Pilot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MMAD Vineyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50420412449089,"sku":"AU00999","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/7959\/0465\/files\/AU00999.jpg?v=1746063324"},{"product_id":"rockford-basket-press-shiraz-2021","title":"Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium-deep red with a trace of purple in the rim; the bouquet suggests meaty, spicy, earthy\/terracotta and forest underbrush nuances.
