Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2023 domaine-cornu Ripe and firm yet remarkablyThis wine is 98% Syrah with 2% Viognier. The Syrah comes from the original 1988 plantings in our Winery block of the Houghtons heritage clone, combined with a significant portion (45%) of our exciting 2017 plantings of Hermitage clone 470, which ripens a little earlier at lower Baum on our site and adds lovely red fruited aromatics to the profile. The stems on these clusters also get ripe, so there is no herbal greenness in the whole bunch components,
