Fervor Edward Syrah 2021 from Frankland River in WA’s Great Southern is a cool‑climate Syrah with serious class, marrying perfumed lift with deep, brooding power from Swinney vineyard fruit. This Fervor ‘Edward’ Syrah 2021 is the flagship red, built for the long haul.

Expect a rush of blue and black fruits, plum, red berries and violet, layered with sage, pepper, spice, ironstone/gravely earth and a touch of rust, all wrapped in savoury oak. The palate is intensely flavoured yet poised, with plush but textural tannins and a long, taut, mineral finish.

This Fervor Edward Syrah 2021 shines with rib‑eye on the bone, lamb shoulder, slow‑braised beef cheeks, peppered kangaroo or venison, and smoky eggplant dishes. It’s also brilliant with hard, aged cheeses and slow‑cooked, spice‑rubbed barbecue for more serious, red‑wine focused dinners.
