Snake + Herring Business Time Syrah 2018 (6x 750mL) Great Southern

Description:

Shiraz is the red icon of the uber-cool Great Southern with different interpretations from, and within, the five sub-regions of Mount Barker, Porongurup, Frankland, Albany and Denmark.

We chose this block on a north facing gravelly ridge planted to a newer shiraz clone (470) as a special project. This is a clone from France recently imported and being trialled in several vineyards in the Southwest.

Handpicked and wild fermented in 2x 2T open top fermenters one with 100% whole bunches, there other 100% destemmed, pressed at dryness and aged in French oak puncheons for 15 months (25% new).

An organic egg white was used to fine the Business Time which was bottled without filtration and just a little sulphur dioxide added.

Winery Tasting Notes

This 2018 Business Time Syrah note is from 2023: purple/red colour of great density. Primary aromas of blueberry and raspberry, red licorice, spice, some florals are still prevalent. Medium body, juicy sweet fruit, youthful and modern with some savoury complexity. Well integrated with supporting oak, seamless.

Reaching its peak drinking now and will hold for the next 5 years.

Winery Profile

Snake and Herring was founded in 2011 by two wine industry junkies, Redmond “Herring” Sweeny and Tony “Snake” Davis. Compelled to walk away from their professional roles at the same time, Redmond and Tony decided to embark on a journey to create their own wine label. Over a parcel of epic Porongurup Riesling, an idea began to form. Many late-night texts were exchanged and early morning vineyard rendezvous arranged and before long Snake + Herring was created and a Porongurup Riesling born.

Like a good wine, Redmond and Tony are a well-balanced team. Tony tends to be dreamy, geeky, moved by the magnificence of science in wine. Capturing and bottling the best of fruit from each site and vintage really ignites him. Redmond has an agricultural and accounting background as well as a forklift driver's ticket and he's not afraid to use it. He knows the market, he knows how to sell wine and thankfully he has a cracking palate.

This partnership has seen Snake + Herring achieve great success, with their latest triumph being the opening of Yarri Restaurant + Bar Dunsborough with Sal Davis and awarded chef Aaron Carr at the helm.

The journey continues!
