The 2021 Bekkers Syrah is a refined, Rhône-style McLaren Vale Shiraz, focused on elegance, perfume and structure. The nose shows blackberry, dark cherry and plum, layered with violet, pepper and subtle savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky texture and fine tannins. Dark fruit, spice and mineral notes are balanced by freshness, leading to a long, savoury finish. Crafted with whole bunch fermentation and large-format oak, the wine emphasises finesse and precision over richness, in a style reminiscent of Northern Rhône Syrah.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark premium Australian Syrah for customers seeking a more refined, Rhône-style Shiraz. It’s ideal for those who enjoy Northern Rhône or elegant, cool-climate expressions of Syrah. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with lamb, beef, game or grilled meats.
