Coates 'The Syrah' syrah 2021 Vermentino Named after the drying wind

Named after the drying wind that funnels down the glacial valleys of Trentino every autumn

This vineyard is small

leaning slightly more towards pinot noir than say Côtes-du-Rhône in style

Fresh acidity

and this won’t disappoint if that’s what you’re after

Coates 'The Syrah' syrah 2021 Vermentino Named after the drying windA masterclass by Duane Coates MW in how to produce quality McLaren Vale syrah at a truly astonishing price. Dunno how he does it, but very glad that he does! This has enough weight to go with any steak, but also has some subtle detailing that make it really interesting. Black pepper sits atop blackberry and plum fruit, with unobtrusive barrel work providing a sturdy frame. Untouchable value.
