Gippsland Wine Company Syrah 750ml

Gippsland Wine Company is based on the Loch Village Vineyard and Cellar Door in the unofficial appellation of South Gippsland, marked by rolling hills and valleys, maritime influence and dark loams. Gippsland Wine Company vigneron, Mark Heath spent 40 years’ working across wine sales, marketing and production in Barossa Valley, Clare Valley and Yarra Valley before venturing into his own vineyards in Gippsland, finally settling at Loch. This Shiraz shows, blue garnet in colour, the nose is redolent of red rose petal, rosemary, star anise and blackberry. These characters follow onto the palate with black cherry and forest bramble, blood plum and roasted red capsicum, umami sweet soy and mocha notes, finishing with five-spice and pink peppercorn notes. The delicious, supple mouthfeel is perfectly balanced by an excellent acid line, chalky, slightly grippy tannins and persistent length.
