LE VERSANT SYRAH 2016

A nose of plums and violets? Check. Sweet blackberries, liquorice and a hint of smoke? Check. Coming in way under what most Rhône wines are offered for this is a sumptuous and youthful Syrah from sun-drenched vineyards in the south of France. It’s got a beautiful purity and a lovely freshness to it which is quite unusual these days. This is a million miles away from big and bold Shiraz so it’s incredibly accessible and infinitely drinkable.
