It's elegant and medium-bodied, with waves of purple-red fruits and delicate spice.
A wine resulting from our reinvigoration of Terravinia, a site first established as Sussex Vineyard (c. 1862), a four-acre site nestled into a northern slope overlooking the Murray River.
Wild yeast, some whole berries and stems, old and new French oak.

Top Australian Syrahs, Young Gun of Wine tasting panel 2024:
Liinaa Berry and Coralie Gelot had this in their top two selections, while Gabriella Rush also included this in her top six:
“This is a lighter and pretty expression of Syrah,” said Berry. “Dried red fruits like dried cranberries gives a touch of concentration even within a lighter frame. After the sweetness fades, the palate unwinds into a savoury profile with finesse.”
“Floral, fruity and bright,” noted Gelot. “Bramble, strawberries and raspberries that have that moreish sweet core followed by zingy acids and that dark plum skin tartness. There is a gentle warming spice that frames the wine especially as it opened.”
Rush commented: “This was so exciting for all the foodie pairing joys I kept envisioning. My first visit to the glass made me think of a wok which… stay with me… was this lovely heated sweet soy, hoisin, clove spice dance amongst all the fruit. The palate was easy which in the context of drinking a lighter, ‘perfect to take to your mates for dinner’ style wine could happily hold up the meal, invite fascinating conversation and leave you wanting more. On the yum scale it is: doubly yum!”
