Chaffey Bros. Wine Co Omnia Nova Old Vine Nouveau Syrah 2022, Barossa, AUD $32

Old gnarly vines have been coaxed into making this bright and unencumbered syrah – it’s nouveau, you know. No need to cellar this: capture its youthful glory now.

A boisterous nose of violets, blackberry jam and licorice lead into a buoyant and composed palate. You could be forgiven for thinking this might be a burly Barossan red from the nose, but it’s lifted and vibrant without any alcohol burn. This will please many – one glass won’t be enough.
