About the Wine

See-rah

The same grape variety, often referred to as Syrah, Old World and Shiraz, New World. It produces deep concentrated wines, full in body, alcohol and tannin. Deep almost opaque purple colour, loads of black fruit and pepper flavours and aromas. When it develops, or is of high quality it often shows notes of leather, spice, smoke and mint.

  • Black Plum Black Plum
  • Blueberry Blueberry
  • Green Peppercorn Green Peppercorn
  • Milk Chocolate Milk Chocolate
  • Tobacco Tobacco

Pinot Noir

Pee-noe Nwahr

A temperamental thin skinned grape and difficult to grow, when produced of any quality it demands high prices. The thin skin means it's very light in colour body and tannin, it characteristically has searing acidity and full lingering flavours of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, violets and sweet spice.

Flavours:

  • Cherry Cherry
  • Mushroom Mushroom
  • Raspberry Raspberry
  • Vanilla Vanilla
  • Violet Violet

The Country

USA flag

USA

Due to an extended, cooler growing season in 2019, grapes ripened with lower levels of sugar and a higher than average yield. The wines are full flavoured with fresh acidity and superb balance. The USA should not be overlooked for only producing full-bodied, powerful wines - there is so much more to discover beyond the stereotype.
