This wine is chock full of juicy, ripe blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, red plum, and strawberry notes, violet, leather, and soft tannins.
Winemaker Maxime Graillot is the son of the revered Northern Rhône winemaker — Alain Graillot — who passed away in March of this year. Surely his father left an indelible imprint on Maxime’s winemaking, and his commitment to quality, which he will carry forward.
This style of Syrah reflects youth, innovation, and a personality of its own that is so approachable, textural, and delicious; it would make a great choice for any holiday gathering. A crowd pleaser.
We chose this wine to pair with roasted chicken and it’s lovely.

Completely disoriented by this very original expression of the Syrah. We expect a Sunny wine with alcohol and the typical notes of Australian Shiraz outside, we have here a wine of great delicacy with rather red fruity notes, and unexpected vegetable notes of menthol and even eucalyptus, also a slight musk animal character. The winemaking is admirable and we recognize Alain Graillot's style. Superb! 🇦🇺
Complètement désorienté face à cette expression très originale de la syrah. On attend un vin du soleil avec de l’alcool et les notes typées du Shiraz australien hors, on a ici un vin d’u grande délicatesse avec des notes fruitées plutôt rouges, et des notes végétales inattendues mentholée et même eucalyptus, également un léger caractère animal musqué. La vinification est admirable et on reconnaît le style d’Alain Graillot. Superbe! 🇦🇺 — 3 years ago
