Rhône spirit, California sunshine.
Andrew Syrah is full-bodied and expressive: dark berries up front, then the cracked pepper and smoky spice that Syrah lovers look for. One for anyone who likes a red with depth and character.
Tastes like: Blackberry, blueberry and plum, with black pepper and smoky spice.
Feels like: Full-bodied and dry, with a bit of grip, balanced freshness and oak in the background.
Great with: BBQ brisket, duck confit, grilled vegetables.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Char siew, black pepper beef, lamb satay.
The geeky bit: Syrah from Paso Robles, California: warm vineyards and rocky soils, which suit the grape’s richness and spice.
Why we like it: Rich fruit and proper peppery kick in the same glass.
Serve: 16 to 18°C. Room temperature in Singapore is too warm for red wine, so give it 20 minutes in the fridge first.
Alcohol: 13.9%
