Overview:

The Seifried Aotea Syrah 2018 is a standout expression of the unique terroir of the Brightwater vineyard, located 15 km from the coast and sheltered by the Richmond Ranges. The vineyard’s rocky, stony soils, which challenge plant vigour, contribute to the production of concentrated, low-yielding fruit. The wine is crafted from hand-harvested Syrah grapes, which undergo a meticulous fermentation process and an extended maturation period in French oak barriques. This wine embodies the full richness and opulence of the region, with a balance of intense fruit and elegant structure.

Tasting Notes:

The 2018 Syrah presents a rich and warm profile, where deep, dark berry flavours take centre stage. Complementing the fruit, hints of warm cinnamon and freshly cracked pepper add complexity and spice to the palate. The wine’s extended oak maturation imparts a smooth, rounded character, with layers of ripe flavours that linger, leaving a lasting impression. Supple and opulent, this Syrah showcases the depth and craftsmanship of the Aotea range.
