Murdoch Hill Orion Syrah 2022, Murdoch Hill, Adelaide Hills South Australia, is the pinnacle of estate Syrah from the cream of the Landau block – a freakishly brilliant vintage delivering haunting fragrance, savoury depth and mesmerising finesse for Adelaide’s most sophisticated winter tables. Deeply aromatic with mulberry, nori, black pepper, kelp, black cherries, tapenade, cloves and violets, it weaves smoky mescal-like notes, ripe berried fruit and classic Northern Rhône perfume through a tightly wound, savoury core.

On the palate, Murdoch Hill Orion Syrah 2022 reveals dense dark fruits, black slate, velvety yet powerful fine-grained tannins, prodigious line and graphite tension with stunning freshness – a wine of gravitas that’ll cellar through 2035+ at 13%.​ Decant for roast duck, wood-fired lamb, venison or aged Cheddar to unlock its classic beauty.
