The 2023 Wangolina The Originals Syrah is a vibrant cool-climate red from South Australia's Limestone Coast, showcasing a fresh and elegant take on the Syrah style. Produced as part of the winery's Originals range, it emphasises bright fruit, restrained oak and regional character. The nose is expressive with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and plum, complemented by hints of cracked black pepper, violet and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and bright natural acidity. Juicy flavours of blackberries, red plum and dark cherry are layered with notes of liquorice, savoury herbs and gentle pepper spice, leading to a smooth, balanced finish with excellent freshness. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar for the next 5–7 years as it develops additional complexity.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate elegant, cool-climate Syrah with vibrant fruit and savoury character. Pair it with grilled lamb, roast duck, gourmet sausages, mushroom risotto or aged cheddar. Decant for around 20 minutes before serving to enhance its lifted aromatics and refined texture.
