Overview:
The 2021 Chalk Hill Syrah is a beautiful expression of McLaren Vale's diverse terroir, crafted from carefully selected parcels across three distinctive sub regions: Seaview, Blewitt Springs, and Clarendon. This wine embodies the region's ability to produce Syrah with both complexity and vibrancy. Through expert winemaking, the Syrah showcases the fresh, perfumed fruit aromas of dark cherries and florals, complemented by hints of spice and cocoa. With its approachable character and potential for further development, it offers a delightful drinking experience that will evolve gracefully over the next 5-7 years.
Tasting Notes:
The 2021 Chalk Hill Syrah opens with a vibrant nose, offering florals, dark cherries, and spice. On the palate, dark cherry fruits mingle with blueberries and mulberries, providing a rich and textured mouthfeel. The wine's finish lingers with nuanced spice and cocoa notes, adding layers of complexity. The well-balanced structure and vibrant fruit character make it a perfect wine to enjoy now, yet its ageing potential will allow it to reach its peak in the coming years. Ideal for pairing with dishes like ricotta and spinach cannelloni, this Syrah is a true reflection of McLaren Vale's rich and varied landscapes.
