2021 Michael Hall Adelaide Hills Syrah, Mount Torrens Magnum
The Lenger Road vineyard sits at an elevation of 480m in the Mount Torrens region of the Adelaide Hills. The soils are sandy loam and clay over quartz and ironstone on a slight northerly aspect. Late ripening and low yielding the vineyard typically produces sweet, spicy and herbal fruit.
For wine nerds like me: Fair winter rains and a cool summer gave us a healthy crop of excellent quality. Hand picked on the 9th April, 100% whole bunch wild fermented, pressed to French oak, 31% new, matured for 20 months in barrel.
20 magnums produced.
Closed with cork under wax and presented in hand crafted timber boxes made at Barossa Enterprises, a fantastic non-profit local company that is the largest employer of People with Disability in regional SA.
