MUNDA Kaurna Country Blewitt Springs Syrah
Munda Syrah Kaurna Country Blewitt Springs (McLaren Vale) Syrah Munda chooses minimal intervention in the winery, second and third use oak regimes to showcase Munda, and prefers to bottle relatively early to reflect the brightness of their wines.

Allinda Limited Release Yarra Valley Syrah
Allinda is a tiny Yarra Valley estate, and you won't find their wines in too many places, because the quantities are so small. But when you do find them, make sure you stock up, because they are really wonderful. This sumptuous Syrah really impresses with medium to full bodied intense ripe flavour and natural acidity. Ripeness of fruit in the warmish 2016 February has lifted the flavour profile into the mulberry and plum zone so expect less white pepper than other Yarra Valley Syrahs. Allinda has kept it simple with healthy soils, healthy vines, some of the better old school practices, a dash of modern technique and a whole lotta good old winemaking sense. High-quality boutique wine with stacks of Gold wins!

Yelland & Papps Stone Well Barossa Valley Syrah
This is cracking – Barossa at its most elegant. 95pt, Gold, Great Value “Damn fine drinking” Barossa Rhône-style Syrah “A distinctly Rhôney style; modest in alcohol and packed with ripe plum and cranberry fruits, pressed wildflowers, exotic spice and meaty nuance. Spacious and savoury on the palate with a light floral tilt, fine powdery tannin architecture and a stony, amaro-flecked exit. Damn fine drinking. 95pts, Great Value” (Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion). "Michael and Susan Papps (née Yelland) set up this venture after their marriage in '05. It is easy for them to regard the Barossa Valley as their home because Michael has lived and worked in the wine industry in the Barossa Valley for more than 20 years. He has a rare touch, producing consistently excellent wines". (Halliday).
