Highly perfumed and complex, with white pepper, spice and red currant leading the nose.
Layers of blood plum, anise and subtle ferrous, mineral notes add depth and authenticity, reflecting the ironstone soils.

Medium-bodied and elegant, delivering vibrant red and dark fruits with precision and energy.
Wild blackberry, plum and spice are supported by fresh acidity and a savoury, earthy complexity, with fine structure throughout.

Silky yet structured, with fine-grained, ferrous tannins providing grip and balance.
The finish is long and refined, with lingering spice, savoury notes and a persistent mineral edge.

A premium cool-climate Syrah—elegant, savoury and finely detailed.
Combines fragrance, structure and mineral complexity, showcasing the distinctive character of Frankland River with excellent ageing potential.
