2023 Ngeringa Sheoak Syrah

Ngeringa has been farming biodynamically since long before it became fashionable, and you can feel that hands-on approach in pretty much everything they bottle.

The Sheoak Syrah is one of their more dependable reds, and 2023 was a terrific vintage for this site. Cool, mild weather meant the fruit came in with bright flavour and lovely purity.  30% whole bunches and mostly older French oak keep freshness and spiciness at the forefront.

On the note there's red and blue fruits, a bit of pepper, and some gentle herbal lift from the whole bunch work. Juicy darker fruits on the palate, with fine tannins and a low hum of earth and minerality running underneath it all.

We love this style of cool climate Syrah and Ngeringa have knocked this out of the park.

"It’s a wine of quietly confident energy, fragrant and full of supple dark fruits and lively spice. Beautiful on many levels."
