Second time we've made a small batch of Shiraz (Syrah) without bunches or viognier. One for the purist.

Gently fermented as whole-berries and macerated for 6 weeks then pressed to 100% new oak (Taransaud TBSPN puncheon) and matured for two years.

Technical Notes

Ravensworth Syrah
Collection: Estate
Vintage: 2023
GI: Canberra District
Vineyard source: Estate
Harvest date: 17th April
Processing: Processed to whole berries with no bunches. Gentle daily plunging daily. Left on-skins for 8 weeks. Pressed to one new Taransaud 500l Puncheon. Matured for two years thus.
Élevage: 2 years
Vessels: Taransaud Puncheon (Select Pinot)
Vintage conditions: 2023
Another cool year, very wet early that kept us on our toes in the vineyard. Was a year for patience, faith and gumboots.
Bottling date: May 2025
Production: 60 dozen
Cellaring: 10 years plus
Something interesting: Leaving the viognier and whole-bunches out of the fermentation allows for a longer maceration. 100% new oak is possible due to the type of barrel not being to oaky.
Drink with: Lamb heavily flavoured with middle-eastern spices and herbs.
