Produced in small quantities, this wine reflects Novum’s hands-on approach, with traditional basket pressing employed to gently extract colour, flavour and tannin while preserving aromatic precision and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"918\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage delivered favourable ripening conditions, allowing Syrah to develop deep fruit concentration alongside freshness and structural clarity. Basket pressing adds a layer of refinement, contributing to the wine’s supple tannin profile and seamless mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"1158\"\u003eAromatically, the wine opens with notes of blackberry, dark cherry and blueberry, layered with violet, cracked black pepper and subtle savoury spice. Hints of olive tapenade, dried herbs and graphite add complexity and regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eOn the palate, the 2023 Basket Press Syrah is medium to full-bodied, richly fruited yet composed. Dark berry flavours flow across a plush, finely textured frame, supported by polished tannins and balanced acidity. Nuances of cocoa, anise, spice and gentle oak integrate harmoniously, leading to a long, smooth and savoury finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1739\"\u003eThis Syrah is approachable in its youth yet possesses the structure to evolve gracefully over the medium term. It is an excellent example of how traditional techniques and modern sensibility can combine to produce a wine of both power and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1741\" data-end=\"1922\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1741\" data-end=\"1752\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia (cool-climate, selected vineyards)\u003cbr data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1812\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Syrah\u003cbr data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1821\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1836\"\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional basket press\u003cbr data-start=\"1861\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"1876\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~13.5–14%\u003cbr data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"1889\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1909\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now – 2032\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"2063\"\u003eA refined, expressive Basket Press Syrah offering depth, texture and balance — ideal for lovers of modern, terroir-driven Australian Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736082641259,"sku":"SK64518535","price":83.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2023_Novum_Basket_Press_Syrah_750ml.png?v=1780389773","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2023-novum-basket-press-syrah-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
