We are thrilled to introduce our newest arrival the 2017 Cornelius Strathallan Syrah. James Halliday honoured it with 96 points. Chief Winemaker Robin Brockett describes it as an

"Exotic style of Syrah, a lot of spice, dark red plum, cherry, but also a little bit of sappiness. A wine of great character and a wine that will age for a long, long time." Robin Brockett

Rich and ripe bouquet of nectarine and grapefruits, a hint of burnt match stick, spice with creamy barrel ferment oak delivers great complexity.

The palate is fresh with mouth-watering acidity which draws you in to the wine. With ripe nectarine fruits, a rich creamy mid palate and cashew oak finish, it keeps you coming back for more. This is built to cellar and will reward further cellaring over the next 5 to 10 years.

96 Halliday Points

Rich and powerful bouquet showing dark plum and cherry fruits with spice, bramble notes, and earthy characters with cedar oak. It is a brooding wine with dark fruits dominating the palate with layers of spice, earthy flavours and cedar oak. This powerful Pinot Noir has plenty of ripe tannins and firm acid, giving the wine great structure and depth.
