Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"A brilliant deep red with a vibrant purple edge, Estate Vineyards Syrah ’22 immediately opens with ripe raspberry and red cherry appeal. The red fruit aromas – defined against subtle spices of white pepper, vanilla and cinnamon, and complexing notes of Turkish Delight and dark chocolate – adorn this wine with its signature floral quality, as well as vibrance and balance that run all the way through to its long finish. Silky tannins, red plum fruit and a creamy texture have produced an Estate Vineyards Syrah ’22 that is the ideal accompaniment to char-grilled meats, margarita pizza, or even a rendang curry – a wine as delicious as it is moreish and graceful."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Stunningly beautiful, showing Black Doris plum, blueberry, floral, cedar and mixed spice aromas, leading to a powerfully graceful palate that’s juicy and fleshy. The wine has excellent depth and concentration, wonderfully framed by loads of finely woven tannins. At its best: now to 2031."
4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"Offering fine value, the 2021 vintage is arguably the best yet. Estate-grown in the Dartmoor Valley, the Bridge Pa Triangle and the Gimblett Gravels, it was matured for a year in French oak barrels (partly new). Deeply coloured, with a fragrant, spicy bouquet, it is full-bodied, with concentrated, fresh blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent complexity, vigour and depth, and obvious potential for cellaring. Best drinking 2025+."
92/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, October 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Toasted hazelnut, peanut shell, pepper, Turkish apricot, blueberry and ripe raspberry. Medium-bodied, fleshy, sooty tannin, crushed herb and a subtle green charter set among spicy blue fruits and cocoa, closing with a dry wheaty finish solid length. No mistaking the grape variety here, and offers ease of drinking with a fair amount of complexity. Good."
