Our Clarendon Hills Moriz Syrah presents itself in a seductive and brooding format, earthy spicey blueberries and roasted meats mix with cocao chocolate and ground coffee. Elegantly concentrated it will reveal itself over time.
The Moritz vineyard was planted in 1975 in a fine sandy soil with pebbled ironstone top soil.
Located in the lowest elevated sub-district Kangarilla it is dry-grown and trellised. The Syrah vines are encouraged to yield approximately 2 tonne per acre or 34 hectolitres per hectare. Consistent vineyard characters include coffee, blue berry and black olive like vibrance in the primary fruit spectrum.
Moritz displays balance and intensity. Bitter chocolate and coffee flavors mingle with the earthy meatyness and combine to provide a supple experience.
