Which is what we have here today in Diletto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiletto brings together four friends, with Mel Chester (of Giant Steps) and Ben Mullen (of Mulline) and their respective partners, turning years of shared bottles and winemaking experience into a project of their own. Their debut Westgate Syrah draws on Mel’s longstanding connection to one of the Grampians’ most outstanding Shiraz vineyards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMel and Ben both love Syrah, both having made some ripping versions in their careers at places like Craggy Range, Seppelts, or Sutton Grange before their current positions at Giant Steps and Mulline (where they are both making some cracking Syrah in their own right), so with this wine, you're getting some pretty serious combined powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 was awarded 96 points by both Halliday Wine Companion and Campbell Mattinson at The Wine Front. Old-vine Grampians fruit and experienced hands make it a compelling buy for anyone who values perfume and finesse in Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An auspicious debut for this new label started by Melanie Chester (winemaker at Giant Steps) and Ben Mullen (from Mulline) and their respective partners. A brilliant crimson purple. Geez, this smells good... A delicious wine, that while hard to keep your hands off even now, will reward at least a decade in the cellar.\" \u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The smell of this wine is quite sublime. So too the taste... There’s both finesse and control to the tannin, and beautiful, even-tempered, satisfying length. This is really quite something.
