2021 Syrah

This was the first year sourcing Syrah entirely from our organic-certified Konnowac Estate Vineyard. The low yields and warm vintage provided for a ripe and muscular style of Syrah.

The vintage in 2021 was characterized by an extremely warm “heat dome” event in June that affected the entire growing season by limiting yields to historic lows but also giving us small concentrated berries.

The must was fermented in small lots and the wine was aged using 225 liter French oak barrels for 16 months. It matured in bottle for an additional 12 months before release.

The low yields and warm vintage provide for a ripe and muscular style of Syrah.  Aromas of dark plum and blackberry mingle with roasted coffee and chocolate.  Flavors explode with dark fruit compote and baking spices.  On the palate this wine give a long finish.  Our 2021 Syrah should age well and provide pleasure for years to come!
