Wangolina The Originals Syrah 2022 from Mt Benson is a cool‑coastal take on shiraz, mixing bright, juicy fruit with peppery, savoury detail rather than sheer Barossa‑style weight. You can expect violet, dark cherry and blackberry aromas with cracked black pepper, dried herbs and a gentle smoked‑meat note. The palate sits medium‑bodied, fresh and nicely poised, with fine tannins and a dry, moreish finish that feels very food friendly.

Flavour‑wise it leans into dark berries, plum and a hint of blueberry, wrapped in spice, a little cocoa and that coastal lift that keeps everything energetic. It’s the sort of syrah that works both as a smart mid‑week glass and as a serious partner for richer dishes, without ever feeling heavy or over‑oaked.

At the table, Wangolina The Originals Syrah 2022 is made for lamb cutlets, grilled steaks, snags on the barbie, slow‑cooked beef or lamb shanks, and char‑grilled veg. It’s also excellent with pizza, burgers and firm cheeses, making it a versatile red for everything from Sunday roasts to casual backyard dinners.
