LL Syrah | Luke Lambert
Luke’s flagship Syrah comes from the coolest section of the Tibooburra vineyard. He uses 40% whole-bunch fermentation here, a long maceration and ageing in a large, 30 year-old barrel. The result is astonishing— an amazing nose of spice and violet perfume, backed up by incredible depth and structure on the palate. A touchstone example of cool-climate Yarra Syrah.
