2021 Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah Frankland River 6 Pack

2021 was really positive for Syrah. Everything looked good, the crop was a healthy size, and everything ripened beautifully. We picked in April, pretty late, but the fruit was aromatically charged with lots of spice and pepper. This wine is 94% Syrah with 4% Viognier and 2% Mourvèdre. 20% whole bunches are included, carefully sourced from among two blocks where the stems turn yellow early. The perfume from these leaps out of the glass and the tannins give a sense of width, with gentle chewiness. 45% of the blend is from the 1988-planted winery block. 49% is 470 clone which brings more complexity and another dimension to the tannin profile. The 470 also reaches perfect ripeness at slightly lower sugar levels, which serves the restrained balance of this wine. Mourvèdre and Viognier add complexity of flavour and texture while Syrah remains the hero. Our aim is delicacy with power. The wine was matured for 14 months in 3,500-litre foudre and a few additional 500-litre puncheons.
