Wine Description
The 2021 Burrowing Owl Syrah presents a dense, deep purple hue. On the nose, it offers intense and complex aromas of ripe damson plum, dried blueberries, blackberry, custard, toasty oak, espresso, and pepper, accompanied by charred meat and bacon notes. The palate is full-bodied with a rich texture, firm ripe tannins, and flavours of dried berries, silky toasty oak, a touch of game meat with thyme, pepper, and paprika on the long finish. This wine is expected to develop further complexity over the next 5+ years.

Food Pairing
This Syrah pairs wonderfully with BBQ brisket, Devils on Horseback, or a classic rich beef stew. These pairings highlight the wine’s depth and character, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
