- TASTING NOTE: Following three cool seasons, the new release is ringing with scents of violet, blueberry and smoky lift. The palate channels the muscle of the vintage, wonderfully harnessed by Lambert’s artisanal winemaking. It’s generous and detailed with cosy, juicy-sweet blue fruits laced with orange rind, violet and aniseed perfume; everything is neatly folded into shape by fine acidity and lingering, silky tannins. It’s a radiant Lambert Syrah that will appeal to acolytes and newcomers alike. Bibendum
- ABOUT THE WINE: The Syrah vines grow on the sunnier western side of Denton towards the top of the slope, where soil is thin and yields are low. This year, 80% whole bunches were included. In the crucial early days of vinification, Rosalind foot stomps the ferments three times a day to ensure each berry is quickly but gently popped, maximising the juice’s exposure to skins and stalks. Ferments are fast, and the wine is promptly pressed, settled and racked to neutral 5000-litre French oak foudre for maturation. Bibendum

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: One of Australia’s most humble and innately talented winemakers, Luke Lambert is obviously inspired by his experience making wine in Piemonte and Australia yet firmly believes that “...the shape of a wine should be governed by what soil you’re on, the aspect, the amount of sunshine and rain.” In other words, the personality of a wine will be dictated by its “place”. Lambert’s source vineyards (in poor, rocky and elevated pockets of the Yarra Valley) therefore manage to bring out their unique signature in the final cut.
All Lambert wines are handpicked and of single-vineyard origin. They are sublimely perfumed, with moderate alcohols, fresh acidities, powdery tannins, and limited oak influence. Luke’s artisanal methodology includes wild ferments without the aid of temperature control, hand plunging, long macerations (with plenty of whole-bunch for the Syrah’s), gravity rather than pumping, old, large format oak and no fining or filtration.
