Previously known as our Cab Mac Syrah, our 2025 Syrah is made in the same playful style using whole-bunch carbonic maceration, creating a bright, juicy red that’s all about vibrant fruit and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small run of this delightful project wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep crimson with purple hues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBouquet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confectionery in a glass, with lifted raspberry cordial and boysenberry jam from the carbonic maceration process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juicy and fruit-driven, with berry coulis and redskins aplenty.

Whole bunches of grapes are placed into vats, which are then sealed and filled with carbon dioxide to create an oxygen-free environment. During this process, fermentation begins inside the intact berries, producing the distinctive raspberry, strawberry and confectionery characters associated with the style. It also extracts relatively little tannin, resulting in a softer, juicier red designed to be enjoyed young – and particularly delicious served lightly chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand harvested by our winemaker, one tonne of whole Syrah bunches was gently placed into a sealed vessel, keeping the berries intact. Carbon dioxide was used to remove the oxygen before the fruit was sealed away for two weeks of carbonic maceration. After this initial fermentation inside the berries, the grapes were destemmed and fermentation continued in the traditional manner. The wine was then basket pressed into seasoned barrels and matured for six months before being bottled young and fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cape Grace Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67926117777482,"sku":"CABMAC25","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/7647\/2394\/files\/cape-grace-cab-mac-syrah-bottle-1.png?v=1793951075","url":"https:\/\/capegracewines.com.au\/products\/2025-syrah","provider":"Cape Grace Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
