Region: Adelaide Hills

Variety: Syrah 

What's in the glass: A beautifully lifted and energetic take on Syrah, Where's the Pope? continues the Ochota Barrels philosophy of elegance over power. Aromas of juicy satsuma plum, wild raspberry and dark cherry are layered with black olive tapenade, cracked pepper, crushed autumn leaves and fragrant spice. The palate is remarkably light on its feet , yet delivers impressive depth, with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a savoury mineral thread carrying the wine to a long, mouth-watering finish. Whole-bunch fermentation adds perfume and texture, resulting in a Syrah that is fresh, complex and effortlessly drinkable—a wonderfully modern expression that proves restraint can be just as compelling as richness.
