2014 Syrah 'The Weaver' wine

2014 Syrah 'The Weaver' wineA special release Syrah with ripe flavours of cherry, spice and long firm tannin. My family have been in textiles for generations. Taking lustrous silk from China or fine Australian merino, they would weave bolts of cloth with great pride, and marvel at how the simple strands of raw yarn transformed into something so beautiful. This Syrah is a tribute to my father, uncle and grandfather, and to the generations before them who were weavers. Lovingly

the colour enticing

once open it should be kept refrigerated

their roots now deep into the bank of granite sand on which they are planted

where one-third of the crop was dried to further concentrate the fruit flavours

staining our hands a gorgeous inky red

this is a wine to share at the bar with good friends

And it’s vegan friendly

spicy sausages charry from the grill

The perfect partner to a range of pork

it’s simply perfect with a summer pasta dish made from sun-ripened veggies and fresh herbs

wild fermented until fortification and aged in a single old oak puncheon for 15 months

grown side by side on vineyard at Tabilk
