Tasting note
Indulge in the dark purple allure of Farvie Syrah. Aromas of whortleberry, aronia, and purple grape lead to notes of clove, star anise, lily, musk, leather, and iron. The palate is super-refined, intensely flavoured, and succulent, with delicate powdery tannins. Evolving gracefully over 15 years, this wine harmoniously embodies greatness.
Viticulture
Bush vine cultivation is Swinney's fervor, yielding incredibly site-specific fruit with laborious dedication. Handcrafted with care, the payoff is in lower yields and exceptional results.
Vinification
Hand-picked from 21-year-old Syrah vines on ironstone gravel soil, our wine boasts 55% whole-bunch wild fermentation for a unique structure, bright aromas, and a touch of spice. Aged for 11 months in large format French oak (35% new), with minimal sulphites, no fining, and light filtration.
Food Match
This bold, spice-driven wine pairs perfectly with intense slow-roasted barbecue pork. Consider a rich, umami-filled pork shoulder. Enhance flavours by seasoning with pepper and cumin to complement the wine's fruity notes
