Description

Paul Vandenbergh, the man behind Munda Wines, teamed up with Chalk Hill Wines to produce this serious and seductive Syrah from Kaurna Country (McLaren Vale).

"This is such a lovely syrah, its Blewitt Springs origin shouting from the rooftops. Length and balance just to start."
- 96pts, James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

"A premium feel with a sense of understatement."
- 92pts, Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Gloriously perfumed and aromatic, it's filled with vibrant flavours of purple fruit and spice, with firm and structured tannins. The TLC this wine went through to get to bottle is evident from the first sip, as is the quality.

Put it down to age for a while or enjoy it now over a meal, the choice is yours. Delicious.

96 points - "As flawless as its siblings. Deep crimson- purple hue, with black cherries and a fine- spun net of tannins. This is such a lovely syrah, its Blewitt Springs origin shouting from the rooftops. Length and balance just to start." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

92 Points - "Deep red with a good purple tint at the rim; the bouquet is shy and slightly muted at first, with notes of dried forest-floor litter and spices, a trace of black pepper, while the palate is full-bodied and rich, firm in tannin and long, firm and crisply clean finishing. Serious shiraz with good potential for aging." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

92 Points - "Mellow, supple and medium weight red, dark fruited, plummy, peppery and sweet spicy. Strong and rich perfume, gentler flavours with a sense of purity and gentle winemaking application. The tannins are lithe, feathery and lend shape, the finish a little scratchy with lemony acidity but overall refreshing and bright. A premium feel with a sense of understatement. Appealing." - Mike Bennie (The Real Review)

From grapes grown on Kaurna Country, this Syrah is handpicked, partially destemmed and fermented in wild yeast for 10 days to extract the optimal flavour.
Medium to full bodied, blueberry, plum and dark cherry fruits burst onto the palate. Vibrant fruit combines with notes of red flowers, cacao and layers of cooking spice. The hallmark sandy/biscuity tannins of Blewitt Spring linger on the palate.
Our wines and wine style aims to reflect the attributes of their Aboriginal countries. We explore varieties that we believe are ideally suited to that country, and that have long term sustainability to work in harmony with munda.

Munda Wines

Paul 'Pauly' Vandenbergh is the First Nations Wirangu man behind new Australian wine label, Munda.

Vandenbergh was working in an Indigenous leadership position for the AFL before embarking on his connected-to-country wine project. Munda (a Wirangu and Kokatha people’s word for "land") is aiming to explore an ancient connection to the land for his people through the vehicle of wine, while simultaneously opening doors for the younger generation of the indigenous community to enter into the wine industry via his not for profit Tjindu Foundation.

Vandenbergh partners with established producers to craft premium wines that tell a beautiful story of his country. It's an entirely original Australian reframing of the European concept of 'terroir', that honours the traditional names of each of the regions which he sources fruit from.
