Blended with 4% Viognier and matured in oak for 15 months, the 2008 Woodthorpe Syrah has superb intensity on the nose with ripe redcurrant, raspberry and liquorice all with fine definition, the Viognier lending it extra lift. The palate is medium-bodied with fine supple tannins. There are notes of raspberry and wild strawberry with a pure, feminine, almost ‘light-hearted’ finish. Simply delicious! Drink now-2015.
