2021 Willem Kurt Syrah
Deep dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Attractive dark cherry, liquorice and dark plum scents intermix with smoked meat, vanillin cedar, dried herb and peppered earth notes. Rich fleshy dark plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits carry ample weight and textural volume across the medium to full bodied palate. Notions of dried herbs, toasty cedar, earth and peppered meats extend across the back half. Velvety tannins with a long finish that’s both seductive yet savoury at once.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.8%

Well hello.
This is a beautiful Beechworth shiraz. Composed, fresh, flavoursome and complex. It tastes of black cherries, almost into plum, with deli meat, black pepper, floral elements, woodsmoke and an array of both sweet spices and garden herb characters. There’s a clear, welcoming sweetness to the fruit, which really drains you in, but then there’s so much savoury, spicy, bunchy character inlaid. This is a beauty. Drink 2024-2032.
