Not what you would expect from a Yarra Valley Syrah, this wine is elegant and lively, smooth yet complex with perfumed red and blue fruit notes and savoury, earthy hints.
Ben Haines is part of a growing movement in Australia of winemakers taking a modern approach, creating wines that reflect the terroir. With natural fermentation, no fining or filtration, and minimal sulphur additions, the fruit can really speak for itself.
