Samsara Syrah

Great with beef ribs braised in wine and herbs.

Samsara is made from Shiraz grapes of organically-grown vines that range from 11 to 18 years of age. They provide low yields of 4 to 8 tons of healthy, balanced fruit.

The wine was aged in barrels for 12 to 16 months and lightly filtered before bottling.

The grapes were harvested in whole-bunched fermented which adds unique body and length to the wine. The balance was gently de-stemmed and went into tanks for 2 to 3 days before natural fermentation begun. Following the natural fermentation cycle, we allowed warmer ferments peaking between enabled a long post-fermentation maceration that took place over 25 to 30 days. Thereafter the wine was taken to 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill 225-litre French Oak barrels where malolactic fermentation took place.
