The 2024 Troppo Syrah is a vibrant cool-climate red from the Adelaide Hills, crafted by Brendan and Laura Carter with their signature minimal intervention philosophy. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards, the wine is made to highlight the freshness and spice that Syrah can achieve in this elevated region, rather than richness or heavy oak influence. The nose is bursting with juicy blackberry, raspberry and wild blueberry, layered with cracked black pepper, violet, subtle herbs and a touch of savoury spice, delivering an expressive and energetic style that is unmistakably Adelaide Hills.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and an abundance of fresh berry fruit. Vibrant black and red fruits are complemented by peppery spice and a gentle savoury edge, finishing long, juicy and beautifully balanced. Fresh, approachable and effortlessly drinkable, this is a modern Australian Syrah that captures purity, elegance and exceptional drinkability while remaining true to its cool-climate origins.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Troppo Syrah is an energetic, fruit-driven Syrah that perfectly balances spice, freshness and elegance. Pair it with grilled lamb, chargrilled sausages, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, wood-fired pizza or barbecue favourites. Enjoy now through 2032 while its vibrant fruit and lively character are at their best.
