Super pretty nose, a smoky spice element, that aforementioned mid-palate fruit, all lead to a fresh finish, enhanced by that cool-climate natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a really nice alternative to the GSM wines we see from SA, a bit lighter in frame, fresher in feel, yet still with full-throttle flavour and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is a beautiful wine to drink, modern and characterful at once...

Lane Vintners Westgate Vineyard Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003eWestgate is one of the Grampians’ great vineyards. Planted in 1969, it’s long been the backbone of Rory Lane’s best wines, and in 2021 it delivered something special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Syrah with a European accent – all spice, dark fruit, and finely etched tannin. There’s depth here, but also restraint: plum and cherry woven through cocoa, anise and black pepper, with that classic ferruginous thread the Grampians is known for. The palate is sleek and svelte, the fruit stretched over a framework of firm but beautifully managed tannins, promising a long life ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking was sympathetic – wild yeast fermentation, 50% whole bunches, time in oak fermenters and then barrel. The result is a wine that balances elegance and power in equal measure. Both Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate, 96+) and Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion, 96) have praised it as one of the finest reds in Victoria – poised, detailed, and built to cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a flagship release for Rory Lane, and one of the most complete Syrahs to come from the Grampians in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It's both an elegant wine and a powerful one, and its velvety mouthfeel makes it a joy to hold in your mouth.
