Gentle Folk Syrah 2023

We are lucky to purchase Syrah from one of the best Hills sites, four clones, heaps of sun plus some thoughtful close planting. Its also grown by great friends with a passion for their land and the wine it can produce. This long, cool season allowed perfect ripeness with all the cool climate traits of pepper and perfume.
