Brookdale Mason Road Syrah 2022

Harvested by hand and placed into open fermenters in parcels (a small percentage of bunches fermented without destalking). Gentle pump overs followed fermentation to extract colour and flavour from the skins. The wine was then gently pressed and malolactic fermentation was completed in barrel and Fourdré with time on the skins to stabilize the colour and give the palate length. The wine spent a further 8 months in 500L and 300L French oak barrels, as well as 2500L Fourdré barrels.
