“Being a Northern Rhone drinker I've always been slightly sceptical of syrah wines outside of this region. I've just never found the same level of balance, savouriness, and power. In the case of this wine I was wrong to be concerned. This wine is a work of precision and is very much like drinking a top class Cote Rotie, although it does have a distinct character which is all its own. The touch of viognier provides a lovely bit of freshness which balances against the meatiness and spice of the Syrah. This is superb!”

“One of those times I wished a bottle of wine was far more than 750ml! A big wine of immense concentration and super delicious. I've also tried the Shubert Theorum and I think the 1% Viognier here brings real 'je ne sais quoi' adding a layer of perfume and finesse. I also love its' savoury, brooding side with the hints of minerality. So much to enjoy here and can't wait to have an excuse to open my next bottle!”
