2023 Syrah
Handpicked Shiraz from an organic, dry-grown, south facing and cool micro-climate vineyard in Margaret River. Bunches were de-‐stemmed and crushed into open fermenters, plunged gently by hand for six days while the wild yeast did their job. Settled in stainless steel and racked only twice before bottling.
Spice on the nose – think cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. A plush, medium bodied wine, the 23 version of our Syrah has obvious cherry, chocolate and plum flavours. A longer ripening period this vintage provides more complexity, power and velvety tannin than its predecessor. But…the hallmark acid profile of this cooler vineyard shines through, giving structure and balance.
Zero oak, no filtering or fining needed.
Vallée du Venom is Rhys and Emma Parker and their ‘Urban Micro Winery’ in Dunsborough, Western Australia. The winery is located in the north of the world-renowned Margaret River Wine Region.
With access to premium vineyards and reliable maritime climate vintages, Vallée du Venom produces small-batch, terroir-driven wines centred around a minimal intervention ethos.
Without the benefit of inheriting vineyards or a winery nor wishing to relinquish control to a third-party winemaking facility, Rhys and Emma started from scratch. Converting a bare, concrete warehouse in the heart of Dunsy into a winery, the Urban Micro Winery concept was as much a necessity as it was a vision.
