Syrah has become one of the main pillars of the Moon Curser portfolio, providing us with a consistently magnificent wine, year after year. The 2021 iteration of our Syrah shows no sign of that trend slowing down. The wine is a medium to full-bodied red wine with the trademark South Okanagan fresh acidity. This Syrah is a deep ruby colour in the glass, with a highly aromatic nose of violet, vanilla pod, blackcurrant and black peppercorns that is followed by the palate of round tannins and anise, black olive, Morello cherries and cinnamon. A nicely balanced and elegant rendition of Moon Curser Syrah, this wine is approachable in its youth, while the fresh acidity makes promises of a long life. Drinks very well now, but we expect it will continue to develop in the bottle if cellared until 2030. Pair with pepper steak, Peking duck, bison burgers or falafel.

The winery did whole-berry fermentation at warm temperatures and then aged the wine in barrel (27% new Hungarian and French oak). The wine begins with aromas of dark cherry and plum mingled with pepper. The flavours are meaty, with plum, fig and pepper.
