This Syrah is a masterclass in cool-climate elegance. Forget heavy-handed Shiraz; instead violets, blackberries, and a twist of black pepper, lifted by a streak of fresh acidity. The palate is vibrant yet structured, with supple tannins and a savoury edge that nods to olive tapenade and smoked herbs. Look for a weave of clove and star anise through the dark fruit core, giving depth without weight.

Winemaker, Erinn Klein and co-founder, Janet Klein, took over their very own patch of the world-renowned Jurlique herb farm and started putting into practice all they had learnt studying all things wine at Adelaide University. The pair met there in 2000 while Erinn was studying oenology and Janet viticulture and winemaking. Let's just say it was a match made in wine heaven because several decades later, they are pioneers in small-batch biodynamic winemaking. More than just eschewing chemicals and embracing the biodynamic farming model at their property near the Mt Barker Summit in the Adelaide Hills, Erinn and Janet are committed to the restoration and regeneration of the land's original flora and fauna. So far they have planted (or perhaps more accurately, replanted) thousands of native seedlings across their property!
