2018 Sigurd Syrah
Syrah (100%)
A 14-day ferment with around 20% whole bunch. Fermented in 1000L vats, pressed to a mix of used French oak hogsheads and 15% new french oak from Cognac forests with a very light toast as to not impact the fruit, elevage was for about 14 months then bottled. A small amount of Sulfur just before bottling. The block of Syrah is just outside of Williamstown I have been leasing it since 2014 and running it organically.
