Luke Lambert Syrah 2024
Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaFrom south east Yarra's Tibooburra vineyard, this cooler site was planted in 2001 to this darker, more strucutral clone of syrah. It's well matched to the unusual soils: seams of black volcanic topsoil over yellow clay, with a smattering of granite. True to Lambert form, this was 80% whole bunch and native ferment, aged in neutral 5000L oak where it remained until bottling, unfined and unfiltered, and with its first sprinkling of sulphur. Purple florals, perfumed plum, wild blackberry, is scented with scrubby herbs and white pepper, while finely firm, sinewy tannins wrap around the medium bodied core. Acidity is brisk, easily carrying this layered red to a peppered finish. A beauty and benchmark example of Yarra syrah.Tasted: 22 May 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $67.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
