Cork

While this region built its name on Pinot Noir, the few Syrahs I tasted were undeniably impressive; it may hold the key to the future of the SLH. This one is yet another example of intensity and elegance at once. Aromas of violets, purple and blue fruits erupt from the glass; it’s an elegant and oh so pretty wine. There are only about 5 acres of Syrah on the Tondré site, with much of it grafted over fairly recently. The palate is energetically savoury and oh-so-refined with pretty blue fruits that sing through the finish. some soy flourishes and a framing of salty ocean minerality.
