The 2023 Eldorado Road Beechworth Syrah is a cool-climate Victorian Syrah from Beechworth, crafted in Eldorado Road’s bright, perfumed and restrained house style. The nose shows blackberry, raspberry and dark cherry with lifted violet, cracked pepper and savoury spice, reflecting the region’s ability to produce Syrah with freshness rather than excessive weight.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, with juicy dark fruit, vibrant natural acidity and fine tannins. Eldorado Road’s Beechworth Syrah comes from the Battely Vineyard, a site planted to four different Shiraz clones and traditionally handled with whole berries, varying proportions of whole bunches and French oak maturation.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those who enjoy elegant Australian Syrah with bright fruit, peppery spice and savoury character. Enjoy now or cellar over the medium term. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-cooked beef, mushrooms or chargrilled vegetables.
