About Levantine Hill Estate Syrah 2019 750mL
The Levantine Hill Estate Syrah 2019 opens with a deeply expressive nose of dark plum, crushed blackberry, and cured meat, underpinned by fragrant violet and a whisper of smoked olive. On the palate, this Yarra Valley Syrah is structured yet supple, delivering layers of black cherry, cracked black pepper, and dark chocolate alongside a beautifully integrated savouriness reminiscent of charcuterie and dried herbs. The tannins are fine-grained and polished, a hallmark of the estate's meticulous viticulture, with bright cool-climate acidity lending freshness and precision throughout. The wine reflects the cool, elevated terroir of Yarra Glen with an almost Northern Rhône-like elegance — restrained power rather than brute force.
