A seductively savoury and earthy expression of Syrah, which effortlessly combines ripeness and freshness. The herbal notes of eucalyptus and pepper work in tandem with ripe wild berries and crushed raspberries, and it tumbles down into a chalky, lifted, fresh finish. With its notes of thyme and wild herbs, it evokes a nostalgic nod to France but is unique and characterful in its own right.
