Overview
Askerne Syrah 2023 is crafted from 100% MS Clone Syrah, grown on the stony, sandy lower terrace of Askerne Vineyard. The fermentation process included 10% whole bunch Syrah and 4% Viognier, adding layers of complexity to the wine. After fermentation in open top tanks, the wine underwent an extended post-fermentation maceration for four weeks, which enhanced its richness. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for 9 months, with 20% new oak and 60% second-fill barrels, contributing to its refined structure.
Tasting Notes
Askerne Syrah 2023 is a fragrant and expressive wine, bursting with aromas of crunchy berry fruits, florals, and scented spices, interwoven with wild herbs and subtle gamey nuances. On the palate, concentrated berry fruits combine with earthy complexity, balanced by bright acidity that provides exceptional length and vibrant flavour. Fine tannins add structure, flowing seamlessly through the wine, making this Syrah a beautifully complex and enduring expression of the varietal.
