Michael Downer has a way with Syrah, that much is clear. This value proposition is made with the same care and attention—and in a very similar mould—to Downer’s flagship Syrahs, Landau and Orion. The estate-grown fruit comes from an organically farmed east-facing block planted in 1998. The fruit fermented wild in open-top fermenters with 15% whole bunches lending impressive aromatic lift. Maturation took place mainly in old barriques with a small portion (15%) new—Michael Downer is seeking complexity from fruit rather than oak.

Reviews

“While this maker's upper-echelon syrah, the Landau, reminds me of a top Saint-Joseph, this is an equally drinkable wine, albeit, not in the same league. Nor, of course, the same price. There is more sweetness flowing across the seams, less refined tannins and a burst of acidity. Yet there is tapenade, charcuterie and blue fruits. A smidgeon of bunchy grip, too, conferring a modicum of class.”
