Gioiello Mt Concord Syrah 2018

The grapes hail from the lower reaches of Mount Concord, with an elevation of 650 metres. Hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed into open-top fermenters, before they were gently pressed and maturated in French oak barriques for 18 months, 40% of which were new. Deep maroon hue, there is good concentration on the nose, with dark fruits, boysenberries, animal hides, leather, mushrooms, coffee grinds, chocolate and cherries. Seamless with good acidity and fine balance, this is a wine of medium length and fine tannins. A fine example of a cooler climate Syrah, enjoy this over the next four to six years and more.
