The adapted natural resilience of the dry land SCHIST Syrah on Roundstone, has resulted in this wine showing pure freshness and superb concentration. The aromas show beautiful hints of Bergamot orange, fragrant dark African violets and nutmeg and the palate is lead by well-structured and harmonious Shist-derived firm tannins . This vintage has phenomenal ageing potential and would be best served at 16 to 18 °C. Decanting is recommended when the wine is opened in its youth.

Our 2021 SCHIST Syrah was picked during the cool morning air and the 100% whole bunches were directly foot-crushed into 500L barrels. Natural microbes took the wine through its fermentations and only hand plunging was performed to build completely via gentle extraction - just enough to keep the cap wet. After four weeks it was racked and pressed back to the same open top barrels. This completed the tannin development and allowed its dark perfume to flourish.
