Beautiful Chaos Syrah
2022

Sorry, we've sold out! The 2023 Syrah will be available in September.

The Syrah was hand picked in mid April, 100% destemmed and placed directly into two clay amphorae. The fruit undertook fermentation naturally and was plunged daily. It remained on skins for four weeks, where all vessels were covered and given a wet cap daily, and stored with no additions. Both components were pressed off, blended together, then returned into amphorae for four months of further aging and to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally. The amphorae were then racked into a small stainless steel vessel to clarify naturally for two weeks prior to bottling. It was bottled without stabilisation, fining or filtration and without any added sulphur. 

The result is an expressive Syrah with gentle floral notes that are supported by savoury, umami flavours. The palate is elegant yet juicy and delicious. Fermentation and aging in clay amphorae pot has created a pure expression of Syrah that shows the exciting terroir of the Raupo vineyard, situated in the Omaka Valley of Marlborough.
