Blank Canvas

Syrah

Rich, powerful and brooding, the Blank Canvas Syrah is a world first for its inclusion of a unique co-fermentation partner, Gruner Veltliner. This marriage of varieties gives a panoply of ripe fruit characters – black and red plum, boysenberry – alongside savoury notes, particularly bacon. It also gives an incredible spectrum of spice: the black pepper and juniper of Syrah, and the white pepper of Gruner Veltliner. It has a velvet-like texture, fine tannins and acidity that only a cool climate can deliver. Incredibly dense and dark, yet hauntingly perfumed and elegant.
