The Anvers Syrah is a great example of modern Australian Syrah, utilising the cooler climate of the Adelaide Hills and some winemaking techniques. The end result is a bright and energetic Syrah with still some interest for those who like something with a bit of structure. Dark plums and blackberries drive this wine along with layers of black pepper, iodine and subtle black olive notes.

The Anvers story starts in Belgium in 1983, where owners Wayne and Myriam Keoghan first met. Indeed, the name Anvers pays homage to Myriam’s hometown of Antwerp. That's probably where the Belgian influence stops, however, as the wines here are very much modern Aussie styles, all sourced from the sustainably-run Anvers vineyard, located not far from the Mt Bold Reservoir in the Adelaide Hills. But the wines here have a split personality too, as the Anvers Vineyard straddles the border between McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills, and that means you can still get cool and fresh sparkling wines, but also lavish and big boned reds. Choose your drinking adventure, right? That means Gamay, Barbera or fine Chardonnay, as well as full-bodied Shiraz and even a fortified red. Stir in a wonderful on-site restaurant serving local ingredient heavy cuisines, and you've got a great excuse to find a way to Kangarilla.
