2024 Syrah
Part of our Hiatus Collection, the 2024 Syrah is sourced from a single vineyard in the Rocks District AVA and offers a new expression of Black
Hills.
Tasting Notes
The 2024 Syrah offers a new expression of Black Hills, showcasing the distinctive character of a single vineyard from the Rocks District AVA. Mineral-driven and deeply savoury, the nose reveals layers of ripe black fruit, black olive, cracked pepper and dried herbs, underscored by an earthy, stony character. The palate is structured and complex, with a core of dark fruit bringing balance to the wine’s savoury depth and pronounced minerality. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for 3–5 years to further enhance its complexity.
Vintage Notes
This single vineyard wine is from the Rocks District region which is known for producing world-class Syrah that delivers wines that are deeply meaty, earthy, and full of rugged black fruit. The 2024 vintage was a cooler-than-average spring which slowed early vine development across much of the region. As the season advanced into late August and September, cooler night time temperatures introduced the diurnal shift needed for flavour development and the retention of natural acidity. Fortunately, fall frosts held off until November, giving the fruit exceptional hang time in the lower-lying vineyard blocks. These favourable late-season conditions, combined with attentive vineyard management, culminated in a successful and balanced harvest.
