Fin de la Terre Syrah

Dappled Fin de la Terre Syrah is sourced from a warm vineyard in Steels Creek, at the base of the Kinglake Ranges in Victoria.

In French the name Fin de La Terre means 'The End of the Earth'. It originates from the long drive the winemakers must make during vintage to get to the vineyard.

The fruit is handpicked, sorted and cooled overnight. It remains as whole bunches and is locked away for two weeks to start natural carbonic maceration, where the ferment begins within the whole berries. It is then foot stomped weekly for a further month.

The wine is pressed straight to a very old puncheon with all lees, where it matures untouched. It is racked to tank and bottled by hand via gravity, unfined and unfiltered.

Bright crimson purple, Dappled Fin de la Terre Syrah is medium bodied with lush dark fruit flavours, spicy, earthy characters, and fine tannins. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
