The Ghost Corner Syrah 2023 is a cool-climate Shiraz with minimal oak influence. Its bright, fragrant nose leads with wild bramble berries and sweet-sour cherries. The palate follows with lifted spice, white pepper, and a thread of liquorice. Damp earth and smoky, savoury nuances evoke wet-cured ham or Spanish gammon, adding depth to its Beaujolais-style lightness. There’s an appealing austerity and a touch of untamed intrigue, making this a savoury, moreish, delicious wine and placing it firmly in the new wave of modern chillable reds.
The Ghost Corner Syrah 2022 is a brilliant wine and a perfect for the trend towards lighter-styled reds – but with enough body and presence. Serve this wine with beetroot carpaccio or a classic French cassoulet. Partner it with sticky BBQ ribs or traditional German bratwurst. Pair it with full-flavoured cheese such as raclette or six-month aged gouda. Or simply open a bottle on a Monday night with bangers and mash for an indulgent supper!
