Sutton Grange Estate Syrah 2018 constantia the rums finish their maturation

the rums finish their maturation in Jerez for 3 years in Sanchez Romate's used Amontillado and Oloroso casks

combined with the natural morning mists that come off the Layon leads to a natural onset of botrytis

This exacerbated the already small bunch weights

nectarine and mandarin

savoury spices and a whiff of bramble and five spice

Sutton Grange Estate Syrah 2018 constantia the rums finish their maturationHand picked in small batches from the best sections of the vineyard, fermented separately, building a wine with 15% whole bunch, 85% whole berry. Open fermented, with an average of 9 days on skins, matured for 18 months in French oak (25% new). It's medium bodied, but offers a multiplicity of flavours, texture and structure; the fruit ripened a point, filling the mouth and very long palate.
