2021 Sigurd Reserve Syrah
Barossa Valley
Modern Barossa is perhaps an abused term, but it couldn’t be more apt here. A wine of impeccable elegance and balance, but with weight and earthy, spicy intent.
Australia’s Best Tempranillo
Tempranillo is unarguably Spain’s most recognisable variety, forming the bedrock of that country’s most famous red wines. It is also a grape that has seen explosive global growth, with more tempranillo planted since 2000 than any other variety. In Australia, it has made a modest but meaningful mark, but the potential for the grape is exponentially bigger. Three years after our inaugural Deep Dive into Tempranillo, it’s an apt time to again cast our eyes across the landscape.
