Small Wonder’s first Syrah, with all fruit sourced from the recently acquired Coal River Valley vineyard.
Restrained and very youthful on the nose. Savoury, with hints of white pepper, herbal freshness and inky dark berries. Athletic, smooth and elegant - polite rather than voluptuous - nice pace and energy. Pristine, pure and not too austere.
Our Coal River Valley vineyard is in conversion to certified organic.

Winemaker’s Notes
Our Syrah is produced from two blocks off our Coal River Valley vineyard. Hand-harvested, the grapes are then transferred into stainless steel open-top fermenters with a portion of 100% stems fermented seperate in a small vessel and included later to provide textural depth and aromatic lift. The must was pumped over up to 2 times per day during peak fermentation with the occasional punch-downs to break up the cap. After 14 days on skins, the wine was drained and pressed, then transferred to 30% new French oak, with the balance aged in 1-, 2- and 3-year-old barriques for 10 months maturation. The final blend was assembled and bottled in early January 2026.
