The 2022 Heirloom Adelaide Hills Syrah is a refined cool-climate Australian Syrah, crafted from a premium Charleston vineyard in the Adelaide Hills using traditional, small-batch techniques including whole-bunch fermentation and French oak maturation. It reflects a modern, elegant style that balances purity of fruit with savoury complexity.The nose is expressive and layered, showing dark plum, blackberry and black cherry alongside notes of liquorice, black pepper, dark chocolate and subtle cedar spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a plush yet structured texture, delivering ripe dark fruit, spice and earthy undertones supported by polished tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is smooth, savoury and persistent, combining richness with finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Adelaide Hills Syrah for customers who enjoy a cooler-climate expression—more elegant and peppery than Barossa styles but still rich and satisfying. It’s versatile and food-friendly with great balance. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with lamb, grilled meats, duck or hearty dishes.
