Munda Djab Wurrung Country Grampians Syrah 2023

MUNDA
Formed 400 million years ago, enormous sandstone structures rise abruptly from the cold plains of Djab Wurrung (Grampians, Victoria) with our vineyards grown at 260m above sea level. 
A low-nutrient growing environment produces fruit of intensity and seductive fragrant power.

VINTAGE 2023
A cool and wet vintage in the Grampians presented its challenges in 2023 and wines are a little lighter and more elegant than in a warmer year but show finesse and lovely complexity.

FERMENTATION
50% of the blend consists of 25% whole bunch portion.

AGEING
Matured in French Oak 90% in an older large vat and 10% in new barriques for 10 months.

AROMA
Dark berry fruit and plenty of earthy spice but also with lighter violet floral and mineral notes, this wine shows complex aromas and a brooding character that entices and continues to reveal with time in the glass.

TASTE
Fresh dark berry fruit characters are combined with tar, dark toasted spice and hints of Dutch cocoa. The wine also has a long graphite line through the palate, balanced acidity, fine long tannins and lingering flavours.

CELLARING
8-15 years in the right cellaring conditions.
