Mont Rochelle Syrah 2020

The Mont Rochelle Syrah 2020 impresses with its beautiful red color as well as its multi-layered fruit aromas, which combine dark and red berries. Nuances of white pepper and cloves add a spicy component to the bouquet. The harmonious blend of fruity and spicy notes continues on the palate, paired with pleasant tannins that give this elegant red wine a balanced mouthfeel.

The Syrah is great accompaniment to game or dark meat, but it is also always the right choice for savory dishes or on its own.

Our Syrah, named such due to the "Old World" style of winemaking utilised, is far more traditional than our "New World" location would suggested with spice, herbs, pepper and black fruit dominating in the wines profile. The Shiraz vineyards on Mont Rochelle range from 200m above sea level to 450m above sea level with an incredibly steep gradient ensuring that we have a diverse flavour profile from the fruit produced. This translates into a Syrah wine with abundant layers of fruit flavours and complexity.

in the cellar : The Mont Rochelle Syrah matured for eighteen months in French oak.
