Ghost Town Syrah 2021

Mt Difficulty Ghost Town Syrah 2021 is handcrafted in very limited quantities from Mt Difficulty's Bendigo vineyard in Central Otago. One of the few Syrahs you'll find from a region so famous for Pinot Noir. A dark and opaque garnet, almost inky Syrah. The wild and savoury nose of bramble blackberry fruit intermixes with gun smoke, black olive, asphalt and licorice. Sweet blackcurrant and blueberry burst on the front palate, leading to a concentrated and dense mid palate of schist, wood smoke and saltbush flavours, wrapped in a sheath of very fine tannin. A surprisingly gentle and elegant finish considering the power and density on the front palate.
