Bekkers Mclaren Vale Syrah 2023

From four vineyard parcels three in Clarendon and one from Seaview. 27% whole bunch with parcels varying between 0 -38%. Blackberries, hawthorn and olives dried on the top of a rosemary focaccia. This is decidedly fragrant with wild forage black fruit entwined with the nettle and pine fronds of a mystic forest. Crushed black cardamom and long pepper spice twills nicely with the sensuousness of silky tannins and svelte frame. The completeness of fruit, spice, structure and pleasure is where this wine shines. A feast for all Syrah drinkers, The 48% new oak puncheons, cradle the soul of the wine. This is handsome indeed. Drinking well now but has the ability to age further in 10-12 years.
