Our new Estate Syrah 2022 launches today
The release of a new vintage is the highlight for not only our Cellarmaster Anné and her team, but for the entire farm as it represents, literally, the fruits of our labour. From today, Friday 12th July you are able to purchase this from our online store.
Climatically, the 2022 harvest was an excellent vintage, a cold 2021 winter led into a warm, dry summer. There was none of the early rains which we experienced in 2021 which made life rather interesting…
Each vineyard block was harvested, fermented and vinified separately to ensure that each wine retains the unique flavours and characteristics of that specific vineyard. The wine was then matured for 14 months in a combination of first, second and third fill French Oak barrels.
Our winemaking team then screened each barrel, only selecting the best, and then carefully blended the separate lots to craft a wine greater than the sum of the parts.
Then the debate begins! The samples were tasted against the best wines in the world, advice is given and taken, and the final blend was then assembled.
“Deep ruby red. Abundant aromatic flavours of white pepper with dark fruit and well-structured silky tannins. Elegant.” – Anné van Heerden, Lomond Cellarmaster.
In my opinion The Lomond Estate Syrah 2022 showcases the vibrant fruit and balanced complexities for which this beautiful region is famous and measures up wonderfully to our previous award winning Syrah vintages.
I sincerely hope you enjoy the wine and the rest of our newsletter!
