A wine described by any award winning estate as their flagship carries a significant weight of expectation, in this case the Shiraz produced from the Syrah grape delivers emphatically. Another superb choice of grape by the Lynx Estate, the Syrah variety has an interesting background and can now be found in most of the world’s notable wine regions – part of the success is attributed to its favourable aging potential.
It is a little more expensive than the Viognier but still represents far greater value for money than you would anticipate for a wine that has already received recognition and awards, combine this with the aging potential of the grape and it could represent another attractive investment.
The taste of this bottle is layered with ripe fruits, mainly berries, with hints of clove and vanilla which gives a smooth finish to fantastic, rich wine that is full of taste.
As expected, it pairs beautifully with red meat and spicy food but we would also highly recommend this as an accompaniment to a cheese board.
