Tasting Notes

The 'Iron' is the fullest bodied of Mullineux's Single Terroir Syrahs. On the nose, it is spicy and savoury, with dark berries. The palate has soft and velvety - yet firm - tannins with hints of orange peel, cloves and white pepper. The wine is brooding, dense and alluring with a fresh and long finish.
