Lane Vintners Westgate Vineyard Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003eWestgate is one of the Grampians’ great vineyards. Planted in 1969, it’s long been the backbone of Rory Lane’s best wines, and in 2021 it delivered something special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Syrah with a European accent – all spice, dark fruit, and finely etched tannin. There’s depth here, but also restraint: plum and cherry woven through cocoa, anise and black pepper, with that classic ferruginous thread the Grampians is known for. The palate is sleek and svelte, the fruit stretched over a framework of firm but beautifully managed tannins, promising a long life ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking was sympathetic – wild yeast fermentation, 50% whole bunches, time in oak fermenters and then barrel. The result is a wine that balances elegance and power in equal measure. Both Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate, 96+) and Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion, 96) have praised it as one of the finest reds in Victoria – poised, detailed, and built to cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a flagship release for Rory Lane, and one of the most complete Syrahs to come from the Grampians in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It's both an elegant wine and a powerful one, and its velvety mouthfeel makes it a joy to hold in your mouth. Bravo. This is beautiful.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"The Story","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141752664436,"sku":"ouy1789957116388","price":40.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2021-the-story-r-lane-vintners-westgate-vineyard-syrah_1.png?v=1789957118","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2021-the-story-r-lane-vintners-westgate-vineyard-syrah","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
