Fetherston Sakura Pyrenees Syrah/Nebbiolo 2023

A single vineyard blend from the Pyrenees, with Syrah marginally dominant over the Nebbiolo. Both components were wild fermented, and both spent six months in neutral oak prior to the blending and bottling. 420 dozen cases made. Not your typical blend, but one which will provide plenty of drinking pleasure. Ruby red in colour, the nose offers notes of warm earth, freshly unearthed beetroot, dark cherries and a touch of milk chocolate. There is good focus and energy here with a line of bright acidity. The wine has attractive length and we see hints of sour plums on the finish. Enjoy over the next six to eight years.
