The Bekkers McLaren Vale Syrah Grenache 2022 is a truly exceptional wine from South Australia's renowned McLaren Vale region. The deep, rich garnet colour immediately entices the eye, while the nose is greeted with a bouquet of ripe dark berries, black pepper, and subtle hints of violet. On the palate, this blend of Syrah and Grenache reveals layers of complexity, with juicy black cherry and plum flavours mingling with notes of smoked meats and earthy spices. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, while the finish is long and lingering, showcasing the wine's impeccable balance and structure. This vintage is a true testament to the mastery of Bekkers Wine, and a must-try for any wine lover.

A full-bodied wine of exquisite perfume and tension. Cloves, iodine, violets and blue fruit notes, with a swath of molten licorice and dried lavender, defining the tannins and finish. Excellent wine.

Marcus Ellis - Halliday Wine Companion
From eight vineyards, with the syrah from Seaview and Clarendon and the grenache from Blewitt Springs, Kangarilla and the Onkaparinga Hills. The parcels were fermented separately with about 18 whole bunches in the final reckoning; maturation was in older French oak. This is an effortlessly silky and supple expression, a wine of caressing glide, a plushness that never feels extravagant, checked by fine grape/stem tannins and the poise of pristine fruit selection. Raspberry pastille, blackberry essence, coffee grounds, light notes of tar and iron. It’s a wine of real immediacy, but it will cellar well.
