Liminal Winery Syrah Block 16 Weather Eye Vineyard - 2018 (750ml)

Winemaking

Aged 16 months in 25% new French oak.

Place

This comes from the highest planting on WeatherEye, a small north-facing, 1-meter by 2-meter block. It has immediately distinguished itself from the Red Mountain side and shows a great complexity.

Winemaker's Notes

Black mountain fruits, high-toned flower notes and cured meats. Hints of citrus. Deep ebony notes on the palate, lightened by bright acidity glinting like sapphire.

Palate is deep, complex of dark fruit and damp earth, asphalt with hints of crushed rose.

Broad, deeply compelling with a floral levity. There's something of the patisserie here: compote of berries - dark chocolate tart - candied lavender.

Think: Embers of a recently doused flame. Density - depth.
