Ben Haines Grampians Syrah wine, hailing from Australia, is an exceptional illustration of love for viticulture. An ethereal red, it personifies elegance and complexity with stacks of flavour. On the nose, it uncovers scents of plums, black cherries, and smoky undertones. The palate is gracefully layered with violet, spice, and subtle peppery hints. With gentle tannins leading to a deliberately long finish, this Syrah exudes sweeter notes of chocolate on the finale. Meticulously crafted, this bottle reflects the quintessence of Aussie winemaking. Ideal to pair with red meat or mature cheeses. A wine lover's delight, truly.
