Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003eNot your typical McLaren Vale Shiraz. Where’s the Pope? comes from vines planted in 1996 on schist and clay in Onkaparinga Hills, and it’s made with the same light touch and instinctive winemaking that define all things Ochota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicked early and fermented with 65% whole bunch, it spent just 15 days on skins before resting in seasoned oak. The resulting Syrah is bright, silky and aromatic, carrying notes of black olive, spice and crushed autumn leaves alongside juicy red fruit. At 10.5% alcohol, it’s astonishingly fresh and feather-light on its feet, but still layered and complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is McLaren Vale Shiraz reimagined: stripped back, savoury, and all about drinkability. A reminder that even in a region known for power and richness, grace and elegance can steal the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 1,698 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ochota Barrels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42009323372587,"sku":"2025 Ochota Barrels Where's the Pope?
