Syrah 2022
Innocent Bystander
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
Syrah is a smooth, sophisticated expression of Shiraz and the cool hillsides of the Yarra Valley are perfect for making this intriguing style. Generous in fruit but restrained in oak, subtly perfumed and tantalizingly spicy it’s made to be savoured.
Pair with braised beef cheek, spicy pork pizza, hard cheeses, dark chocolate.
