Gioiello Estate Syrah 2023

Shiraz, or Syrah if you prefer, from the Goulburn Valley in Victoria, which spent a year and a half maturing in French oak barriques. The colour is a dark blood red with a deep crimson rim. This is ripe, concentrated, offering good oak integration throughout, and is a most enjoyable Shiraz for drinking over the next ten to twelve years. The nose offers aromas of old leather, licorice, charcuterie, blackcurrants, mulberries and dried herbs. The wine has a sleek texture, is well focused and is of medium to good length, finishing with soft powdery tannins. It offers a little more black fruit character than some of the previous vintages.
