It’s a fine wine of refined feel and savouriness. Great stuff.

About The Wine
When making wine, Remi Guise wastes nothing. His philosophy is what he calls, "Berry to Stalk", the idea resembling that of the 'nose to tail' movement now so popular in cuisine.
His 'Marrow' Syrah Malbec is a gorgeous, sumptuous example of the benefits of his practice. He co-ferments the two varieties with some whole bunches, creating a seamlessly integrated wine from the beginning of the process.
The 2017 has an 'old world' edge to it, with the emphasis squarely on savouriness, elegance and charisma. I was sucked in by this wine when tasting, a beautiful thing that Remi has created.
About tripe.Iscariot
Remi Guise is starting something very compelling in Western Australia.
His idea for tripe.Iscariot centres around the thesis that from 'berry to stalk' the whole of the plant should be used in the winemaking process.
No waste, no 'cleaning up' of the wines. Driving to make the most character filled and unique wines that any site can produce.
The wines are fascinating and complex alt-stylings of undervalued Margaret River varieties.
Dig in, this is a project to keep a close eye on.

From The Producer
A medium bodied red blend made from hand-picked Syrah and Malbec Grapes. Part of the harvest was fermented as whole-bunches, submerged under the remainder of the fruit, which was cold-crushed on top. After a two day cold-soak the fruit was warmed and fermentation began.
After 10 days on skin the wine was basket pressed and allowed to finish fermentation in barrel. The wine was barrel aged for 10 months, during which the barrels underwent battonage every four weeks. The wine was then removed from barrel, clarified and bottled.

Critic Reviews
"Anticipated releases from this tearaway Margaret River wine producer! Savoury red of silky texture, mellow flow, succulence in tannins, cool acidity, really even red berry-red cherry fruit flavours, layers of brown spice, dried herb, bergamot tea character. I like this. It’s a charming wine, unfurls beautifully, shows plenty of detail, sets a benchmark for Margaret River syrah. Almost pinot-esque, one could say. Shake that thought, it’s a fine wine of refined feel and savouriness. Great stuff." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
"As of '17, Marrow's fruit is sourced from a different vineyard in the subregion of Wallcliffe and for the first time, is 100% syrah, as opposed to the malbec used to bolster previous renditions. What a fabulous wine. Heady aromas of warm earth and gravel, red fruits, florals and woodsy spices. It's medium-bodied, complex yet appearing effortless; succulent and savoury with super fine tannins." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
