Deep, spicy dark fruits line this earthy and liquorice. Leather, gunpowder, crushed rock, coffee‐edged blue fruits and roasted meats dominate this Cornas styled expression. The seductively integrated and modestly amplified Syrah characters identify the Moritz vineyard’s modern take on a traditional classic.

Layered and with a velvety texture, the palate is luxurious and the nose is liqueur-like smooth. It has depth and balance to warrant 25 years, or 25 minutes.

The majestic savoury edged tannin profile is finely grained and long winded. The luxuriously weighted flavour intensity is powerful, multi‐layered, rounded and generous.

This vineyard was planted in 1975 in a fine sandy soil with pebbled ironstone. Dry-grown and trellised, the Syrah vines are encouraged to yield approximately 2 tonne per acre or 34 hectolitres per hectare. The Moritz Syrah vineyard is considered a ‘Premier Cru’.
