The Fairview Lanner Hill Syrah 2022 from Darling’s cool Western Coast vineyards shows bright red fruit, wild herbs, and fine tannins a graceful, old-world expression of Syrah.
ACCOLADES:
Enjoy with cheese, pâté, and charcuterie served with freshly baked bread. It also pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, herb sauces, and spicy, earthy vegetable dishes.
In the glass, Fairview Lanner Hill Syrah 2022 shows a dark red colour with a bright rim. The nose reveals Cape fynbos, wild herbs, and red cherry, lifted by black pepper spice. The palate is fresh and refined, with juicy red fruit and powdery fine tannins that promise excellent ageing potential.
Fairview Lanner Hill Syrah 2022 comes from Lanner Hill Farm in Darling, owned and farmed by the Fairview Wines team. The trellised Syrah vines grow in deep red shale and granite soils, while cool afternoon breezes from the Western Coast help the grapes retain freshness and balance. These conditions create a refined, cooler-climate style classic Syrah rather than riper Shiraz.
Harvest took place on 3 March 2022, with grapes picked at 22.5°–23.5° Balling to capture a bright, lively character. The team placed 20% whole-bunch clusters at the bottom of 50hl foudres, layering the destemmed, hand-sorted grapes on top. Fermentation began naturally with indigenous yeast from the vineyard. Gentle punch-downs and pump-overs, done up to three times daily, extracted colour and flavour over ten days before pressing.
After pressing, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in older French oak barrels, where it matured for 18 months. A final barrel selection followed, and the wine was bottled with minimal filtration to preserve purity.
