The 2023 Entropy Wines Syrah is a cool-climate Gippsland Syrah from winemaker Ryan Ponsford, whose Entropy label focuses on organically grown fruit and minimal-intervention winemaking in Baw Baw Shire. The wine shows blackberry, dark cherry and plum alongside violet, cracked black pepper, dried herbs and subtle earthy, savoury notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, with fresh acidity and fine tannins supporting juicy dark fruit. Pepper, herbs and earthy complexity add a savoury dimension, while the restrained style keeps the wine fresh and finely structured rather than heavy or overly extracted. The 2023 release sits at around 13% alcohol.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Syrah drinkers who enjoy elegant, cool-climate reds with dark fruit, peppery spice and savoury complexity. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, duck, mushroom dishes, slow-cooked pork or aged cheeses.
