ageing : The wine is ready for drinking now, but will most definitely reward careful cellaring for at least 10 years from vintage.

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 vineyard : The 2022/2023 season will be remembered for the dry and warmer winter, generally good growing conditions during the vegetative growth phase, good rain shortly before veraison, which benefited quality, and a cool and wet ripening period, which gave grapes a chance to ripen optimally at a slower rate.

about the harvest: Hand harvested on 27 February 2023

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