Plantagenet

2008 Mount Barker Syrah

The Tastingroom Plantagenet Syrah from the 2008 vintage hails from the esteemed Mount Barker region, known for its exceptional climate and terroir that cultivate outstanding grape varieties. This red wine showcases a full-bodied profile, beautifully balanced with a high acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and stone fruits, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. Its tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing structure and depth, making this wine a delightful companion for rich dishes or a moment of indulgence on its own. As a remarkable expression of Mount Barker, this Syrah proudly reflects the richness and complexity of its origins.

Western Australia

Fans of Aussie wine will be familiar with Western Australia's beautifully complex Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône varietals and blends. Lying south of Perth around the southwestern tip of the country, this relatively small area produces just five percent of Australia's wine. But when it comes to quality, Western Australia punches well above its weight. Well-known small sub-regions within Western Australia include Margaret River, Frankland River and the Blackwood Valley, where the dynamic Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings are distinctly European in character.
