Oakridge 864 Single Block Release Syrah

Oakridge 864 Close Planted Syrah 2023 is a thrilling Yarra Valley single-block release from Oakridge Wines, grown in the estate’s densely planted, east-facing Coldstream vineyard. This is cool-climate Syrah with serious perfume and depth, delivering plush dark fruit and spice without ever feeling weighty.

Dark plum, blueberry and rhubarb aromas spill from the glass, lifted by white pepper, cinnamon and violet. A core of dark forest fruit drives the palate, while whole-bunch complexity, vibrant acidity and well-judged French oak bring savoury detail, precise definition and tannins that linger gracefully.

Decant Oakridge 864 Single Block Release Syrah 2023 for duck breast with cherry glaze, charcoal-grilled lamb, venison loin or slow-roasted eggplant. Its fragrant spice, ripe dark fruit and fine structure make this Yarra Valley Syrah a standout with elegant savoury dishes and a rewarding cellar candidate.
