This approach allows them to steer completely clear of heavy, jammy, or oak-driven styles, focusing instead on pure, site-driven elegance and a highly structural framework.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 2024 growing season turned out a beautifully poised, tightly wound wine that highlights the true cool-climate potential of the Frankland River. In the winery, the team incorporated a small percentage of whole bunches during fermentation to inject a layer of savory complexity and fine-grained structural tension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe nose is bursting with a beautiful perfume of black cherry, violets, aniseed, and smoked meats. The palate is effortlessly chic and medium-bodied, balancing its bright plum and mulberry fruit flavours with raw cacao-like tannins and a refreshing, crunchy acidity. It finishes long, sleek, and incredibly persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a serious, tightly bound Syrah and one of WA's best.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There is a charming tension and vitality, a long, fine and streamlined finish showcasing serious potential to flower in a bottle...
