Minimalist “No Place like home” Syrah 2021

Minimalist Wines is all about making quality wine with minimal intervention.  It’s about focusing on the varietaIs I’m passionate about (chiefly cool climate Syrah), about treating them gently in the cellar and then allowing nature to shine.

At heart, it’s about respecting the fruit by using what occurs naturally in each vineyard and letting it ferment spontaneously, so the unique and fascinatingly diverse microflora speaks for itself.  Then, relying on old-school techniques – like foot stomping and whole-bunch fermentation – and barrelling the wine in subtly seasoned Oak that’s already had a few fills.
