Bekkers - McLaren Vale Syrah Grenache 2019:

Wundervolle Cuvée aus 64% Syrah von Weinbergslagen der höher gelegenden 'Clarendon Hills' und 36% Grenache von Weinbergslagen aus dem 'Vale'.

Die spät reifende Syrah aus den Clarendon Hills bietet eine enorme Großzügigkeit und hat eine sehr weiche, seidige Textur. Die Grenache von uralten Buschreben aus dem Vale ist eher mittelkräftig und liefert raffinierte asiatische Würze und einen unglaublich aromatischen Duft. Beide Fruchtkomponenten verschmelzen zu einer großartig strukturierten und fabelhaft ausgewogenen, tiefdunklen Rotweincuvée.

In der sehr beeindruckenden und großartigen Nase bereits große Üppigkeit mit dem ganzen Pfauenrad an roten, schwarzen und blauen Früchten in Verbindung mit eleganten 5-spice Gewürzkomponenten und einer feinen Lakritznote.

Am Gaumen dann überaus reichhaltig und komplex mit herrlichem Zusammenspiel aus reifen Himbeeren, feiner Schwarzkirsche und opulenten Blaubeernoten in Verbindung mit edlen Gewürzen nach Sternanis, Zimt und auch etwas Gewürznelke. Es sind auch feine Tabak,- und edle Lakritzkomponenten zu erkennen. Alles sehr cremig mit der seidigen und noblen Tanninstruktur vermählt. Der Wein ist außerordentlich lang und macht richtig viel Spaß im Glas - Klasse.

95 Points - Erin Larkin (RobertParker.com):

"The Bekkers Syrah Grenache is always Shiraz-dominant and made to a 70/30 or 60/40 margin. The flex, or variation in vintage expressions, comes from the flavor density shift from vintage to vintage. This 2019 Syrah Grenache is concentrated and supple, with layers of cassis, blackberry, raspberry coulis, pink peppercorn and a scrape of olive tapenade; it is balanced and mid-weight—almost leafy, with tobacco leaf and saltbush through the finish. It's a harmonious, zen wine." -Wine Advocate

95 Punkte - James Suckling:

"Impressively rich fruit here, this has complexity already, with florals, spices, red fruit and darker berries on the nose. The palate is fitted snugly with long, fine tannins and a discreetly spicy thread of oak spice and structure. Succulent and sweetly fruited. Drink over the next ten years. Screw cap."

95 Punkte - The Real Review:

"Intense and deep purple core, brightening into the rim. Cardamom, plums and boudin noir on the nose. Medium to full on the palate. There’s a subtlety to the fruit, which sets it up to mesh well with the dark, stony, savoury minerality. Flowing and gliding into a very long finish. There’s a remarkable level of poise and class here."

96 Punkte - The Wine Pilot:

"This is a very different expression of McLaren Vale shiraz (Syrah) here that has a distinctly Rhone Valley edge to it. Fans of the classic McLaren Vale Shiraz might be a little shocked with its savoury personality. But give this wine some time and I guarantee you will be rewarded.

Right now there is tar, earth and coal dust aromas sitting over sweet mulberry and blackberry fruits but it is the savoury side that initially dominates. It’s reserved and just waiting to come out of its shell, as it does over a couple of days. It fleshes out more in the mouth but is lifted by savoury elements again – rocky, black pepper and even some Mediterranean garrigue (a combination of dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary and lavender). That savoury side lifts it into something special and with those chalky tannins and long finish you can see this wine is going to be a cracker for at least a decade"- Angus Hughson

94 Punkte - James Halliday 2022:

"64/36% syrah/grenache from 6 vineyards, both lower and more elevated, including Blewitt Springs for grenache. With this, sand, ironstone, gravel, loams and various permutations of clay, all contributing. Each site fermented apart, circa 30% whole bunches, in used French puncheons. A limpid mid-ruby. Dashing aromas of kirsch, freshly grated orange zest, pumice, aniseed, clove and nori. Texture the strike force: scrubby herb and beautifully tuned tannins, sopping up any regional sweetness. Not necessarily to subjugate it, but to make it a more transparent reflection of place. A brilliant offering."
