Overview
The Luna Estate Blue Rock Single Vineyard Syrah is a superb representation of the power and complexity that Syrah from the renowned Blue Rock Vineyard can offer. Sourced from the steep, north-facing Highfold block, planted in 1997, and for the first time incorporating fruit from the 10-year-old Nelson block, this wine delivers a truly exceptional experience. With its perfect balance of intensity and elegance, it is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but with the potential to age gracefully over the next decade.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the Luna Estate Blue Rock Syrah reveals a deep, dark hue, leading to a complex bouquet of dark fruits, peppery spice, and hints of earthy savouriness. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with layers of blackberry, plum, and subtle violet notes, balanced by fine tannins and a touch of smokiness. The inclusion of the Nelson block fruit adds an extra layer of depth and complexity, complementing the intensity of the Highfold block. While this wine is already incredibly enjoyable, it has the structure to age for up to 10 years, allowing its character to develop and evolve further. This Syrah pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rich stews, and hard cheeses, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or for those who enjoy a wine with both power and finesse.
