Rigour & Whimsy 2022 Thus Spoke Veruca Syrah 750ml

Syrah's spicy nature mimics that of Veruca herself. Unlike the previous bottling of Thus Spoke Veruca, this time round, there is no softening of her edges with the aromatics of Viognier. She is dark and brooding.

This darkness hits the palate with black plum and cherry, with cool tones of blueberry and lavender. Her smokiness comes from grilled meat on a BBQ, served with olive tapenade and the right amount of herbal punch. The tannins are powdery in nature, bringing forward the uncomplicated spice. This vintage Veruca appeals to those who prefer their wine with a defiant spirit.
