The 2024 Petrichor Estate Syrah, Pinot Noir & Gamay is a distinctive cool-climate red blend from Tasmania, bringing together three varieties grown on the estate's north-facing vineyard. Crafted with minimal intervention, the wine captures the elegance of Pinot Noir, the spice of Syrah and the bright fruit of Gamay, offering lifted aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, white pepper, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, silky tannins and a beautifully textured mouthfeel. Flavours of red berries, black cherry and plum are layered with gentle spice and savoury mineral notes, leading to a fresh, balanced finish with impressive purity. Gentle winemaking and restrained oak influence allow the character of each variety to shine while preserving the cool-climate freshness of the fruit.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant, lighter-bodied reds with freshness, spice and complexity. Pair it with roast duck, grilled pork, mushroom risotto, charcuterie or herb-roasted chicken. Best served slightly below room temperature and enjoyed over the next 5–8 years for its vibrant fruit and refined structure.
