Dukes Vineyard 2022 Invitational Chatsfield Syrah (6 Bottles) Great Southern, WA

by Duke's Vineyard, Porongurup WA

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

From 40-year-old vines planted on a ridgetop of granitic sand and rocky ironstone clay loams, the vines gave tiny oval berries of dark purple colour and deep floral intensity. 100% whole cluster ferment gave intensely purple and blue fruited plushness with spice and a focused juicy yet finely framed palate, speaking of a harsh year of extremes. This 2022 vintage Syrah beguiles and seduces, unfurling and blossoming with some cellar age. 750ml

CRUSHED VELVET • LAVENDER • BOYSENBERRY

96 points, The Real Review
Ranked #1 of 24 2022 Shiraz from Great Southern
Deep, saturated purple-red hue, excellent colour; deep and brooding dark-fruit aromas laced with a twist of black peper; the palate is intense an dfull-bodied, but light on its feet at the same moment. A very elegant, stylish shiraz with cool-climate flavours and intense flavour. Not a big wine but very intense, focused and long-lasting. A superb shiraz, well described as a syrah style.
