Ben Haines A Hope for the Times Syrah 2021

Ben Haines A Hope for the Times Syrah 2021 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine from the Yarra Valley of Australia. Ben Haines has a burgeoning reputation for producing lighter, brighter styles of terroir-driven wine in Yarra. Produced from the loamy Miners Ridge vineyard, A Hope for the Times Syrah spends six months on lees in old puncheon barrels and is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal added sulphites. Producer note. "Perfumed, succulent and savoury syrah. Etched with detailed red and blue fruits in delicate tension with savoury graphite minerality – and wafts of roasted pepper and deep earthy spice that are signatures of Miners Ridge. Finely yet firmly structured; powdery tannins slowly dissolving in your mouth, whilst the wildest array of complex flavours is carried by the coolest of acidity. An understated, unpretentious wine that has been allowed to express itself fully with minimal intervention, and showing its true potential with time in the glass."
