La Boheme Act IV Syrah Gamay 2020

Dame Nellie Melba, the operatic legend from the Yarra Valley, inspired the La Bohème range. Named after one her most famous operas, these are classic bistro wines - ethereal, aromatic, textural, sophisticated and easy to pair with food.

Act IV brings together spicy and textural Syrah with perfumed and crunchy Gamay Noir. The combination creates a vibrant wine with an alluring nose of red and dark fruits, violets and a touch of graphite. The palate is supple and silky with textural, soft flavours of blue fruits, spice, violets and a delicate earthiness.

2020 was a cool season with timely rainfall. Lovely ripening conditions during Autumn. Syrah quite spicy with texture, Gamay Noir crunchy, vibrant and deeply perfumed.

A mixture of whole bunches and whole berries with some early foot stomping to create some juice to start the fermentation. A combination of plunging and turnovers during fermentation. Pressed and racked to 500 litre casks for 6 months.
