Two Wolves - Syrah 2018 750ml

2018 was our second vintage of this beautiful block of Syrah. With the vines in full production, we experimented with whole-cluster fermentation in three distinct lots. After one month on the skins, we pressed into 500L puncheons and 228L barriques. The resulting wine lots were uniquely delicious, and ultimately they complemented each other to create a complex and harmonious final blend. Our 2018 Syrah/Malvasia field-blend gives plum, cherries, fresh pine, freshly grated nutmeg, caramel, and peppercorn in the nose. There’s a dusty, chalky loveliness to this wine and a lift of orange peel that complements the ample structure provided by the 60% whole cluster fermentation. Mouthcoating, with an elegant earthiness that transforms while in the glass. - Alecia Moore, Two Wolves Wines
