Description
The Glass Collection Syrah has a wonderful bright and rich colour with deep purple undertones.
The aromatics of the wine are an intriguing mixture of both floral tones with spicy fruit.
The palate expresses white pepper spice, spicy plum and dark berry all supported by a fine velvety texture.

Vinification
The bunches were sorted and placed whole into the tanks. The tanks were allowed to slowly start fermenting naturally with two to three pump overs a day taking place.
Post fermentation, they were given three weeks of extended skin contact before being taken down to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation.
The wine stayed in the barrels for twelve months.
