The 2022 Munda Kaurna Country Syrah is a bold yet refined Australian red from McLaren Vale, crafted from 100% Syrah grown on the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs. Produced by Munda Wines—an Indigenous-owned winery—it reflects a strong connection to Country (“munda”) and terroir, combining traditional custodianship with modern winemaking to express both place and culture. The nose is aromatic and layered, showing blueberry, dark cherry and plum, complemented by notes of violet, spice and a touch of cacao.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, structured texture and fine, sandy tannins typical of Blewitt Springs. Flavours of dark berries, red florals and cooking spice are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a long, polished and savoury finish. The style is expressive and modern, combining richness with vibrancy and a distinctive regional character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers looking for a bold yet refined Australian Syrah with a strong sense of place. It’s ideal for those who enjoy McLaren Vale Shiraz but want something more lifted and structured. This is not overly jammy—it’s balanced, spicy and textured. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with grilled meats, lamb, BBQ or hearty dishes.
