The Oldenburg Vineyards Series is a true expression of terroir through a range of single cultivar wines and the confluence of the 8 natural elements that determine the unique terroir is explored through these wines. The 8 elements are depicted on the intricate Oldenburg Vineyards Series label design. Grapes for the Syrah 2018 were harvested on 3 March 2018 at 24.5° Balling. Sorted carefully by hand, and cold-soaked for three days before fermentation was initiated. Pump overs were performed up to three times daily. Malolactic conversion was completed in barrel. Wines were matured for 14 months in 300-litre and 500-litre French oak barrels (14% new oak). A total of 7,602 bottles were produced. Bottled at 14%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: The nose is inviting with aromas of cloves, brambles, blackcurrant and mulberries.

Palate: Purple lavender flowers, coffee beans and dark chocolate are found on the palate.

Finish: A long finish of sour cherry. This Syrah shows a tannin structure that is both grippy, and smooth and silky. A delightful acidity provides the perfect backbone for the aromatics of this beautiful wine.
