Elgin

Elgin’s cool climate contributes to a more mineral and restrained style of Syrah. Add Richard’s extraordinary attention to detail and you have a wine that breaks all expectations, with notes of tapenade, iodine and black pepper.
Crunchy & refreshing.
100% Syrah.

Spice and flint on the nose are layered with citrus pith and lemon cream. The attack is brisk and leads to an elegant, scented palate. There is a hint of grip and the oak is completely integrated, contributing to a texturally very fine wine. Fresh and very, very long.

Richard has stepped up his game with his 2013 Syrah. While the 2012 was very good, the 2013 is truly impressive. The nose is awash with blueberry, damson and white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, svelte and full of Old World sensibility with a moreish, savoury, tannin edge and much more structure than the previous vintage. The acidity is lifted and, along with a graphite note and mineral edge, gives this Syrah a refinement one often finds in the wines of the Northern Rhône. Excellent. Drink 2017-2022.
