2023 Lethbridge Que Syrah Syrah

A savoury Pyrenees Shiraz with good upfront richness a slightly chewy mouth feel.

Lethbridge has been working with fruit from the Malakoff Vineyard in the Pyrenees near Landsborough for more than 10 years. This celebrated site—owned and operated by Cameron and Robert John—has long been the source of top-quality Shiraz from some of Victoria’s most celebrated producers. The moderately sloped site was first planted in 1997 and lies at 300 metres with a well-sheltered northeast aspect. The soils are rich in red ferrous clay with large amounts of ironstone and quartz littered throughout.
Midnight black heart with a dark red hue. Spicy dark plum, liquorice and dried clove scents rise out of the glass followed by some smoked meat and peppered earth notes. Good upfront richness with fleshy dark plum and liquorice fruits overlaying a scorched earth, dried clove and peppered meat back drop. Slightly chewy mouth feel with fine grainy tannins, concluding long and savoury.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%
