2024 Mada Syrah

The 2024 Syrah blends fruit from Hilltops and Canberra – two regions that balance each other out beautifully. Most of the fruit comes from a warm slope at Freemans Vineyard in Prunevale, bringing plush berries and a smooth, generous core. A smaller portion from Poachers Vineyard in Murrumbateman adds spice, lift and a touch of savoury detail.

Hamish keeps the winemaking pared back as always – gentle fermentation, maturation split between ceramic and old French oak. The idea is to capture brightness and shape without losing that natural flow he’s known for.

It’s vibrant and aromatic, showing red and blue fruit, pepper and subtle herbs. The palate is silky and open, fresh through the finish but with enough depth to hold your attention. A beautiful balance of ripeness and restraint, and just way to easy to drink!
