2017 Syrah V Salomon Estate

Grapes Viognier, Syrah
Colour Red
Origin Australia, South Australia
District Finniss River
ABV 14.5%

In 2017 this Côte-Rôtie blend from our favourite Austrians in Australia is really singing. 95% Syrah, barrel-aged for 20 months in 300L hogsheads (mostly French). This is deep and satisfying but surprises with its lift and grace. Loaded with floral tones, dark berries, fresh tobacco leaf and creamy darkness. Sophisticated and yet with just enough decadent delight - this is a stonking effort in 2017. L&S (Dec 2020)

The ‘V' stands for viognier, 4% of which was co-fermented with the shiraz. This - and the cool vintage - has produced the fragrance of the bouquet, red fruits joining the usually dominant black fruits. The palate, too, has a juicy elegance, making this a case book drink now or later wine. Drink by 2032.

Salomon Estate

Our great friends the fabulous Salomon family famous in Austria for the historic estate also have this sensational outpost in Australia - Salomon Estate. Here they make elegant Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Atop the rolling hills of the Finniss River wine-growing area the grapes ripen in an idyllic micro-climate. Finniss River extends along the southeast shoulder of the Adelaide Hills, part of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Salomon Estate wines mirror the unique qualities of this landscape: you can feel the midday sun in their fruits and the chilled air of the nearby Southern Ocean in their acids. These exceptional wines reflect the fruit of Australia with a European approach to winemaking. Bert, Gertrud, Fay Marie and young Bert Salomon bridge the old and the new wine world. Harvesting twice a year they commute between Finniss River/Australia and their famous white wine estate Salomon Undhof – Austria, which they manage in the eighth generation. Always one to make the right decisions at the right time, Bert is helped by iconic Australian winemaker Mike Farmilo, longtime friend and former chief red winemaker at Penfolds.
