Meldville Barrel Select Syrah, VQA Niagara Peninsula, 2020

Syrah or Shiraz? What’s the difference? Fruit led versions of this variety, such as many from Australia, are usually called Shiraz while the more savory bottlings, typical of those of the Northern Rhone, tend to be referred to as Syrah. In Ontario, both grape names are used, customarily indicating to which style camp the wine belongs. Meldville’s expression, from the outstanding 2020 vintage, sings “Syrah” with a meaty, peppery profile complementing its dark berry fruit. A backbone of mouth-watering acidity makes this an excellent food wine. Think pepper crusted sirloin. Less than 4 barrels produced. 2022-2032 LW IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION: This wine will be shipped to your door in Ontario (cost included in the case price), shipped to your door in British Columbia, Manitoba and Nova Scotia at $45 per case (billed to your account at the time of shipping),and will be available at your regular Delivery Location in all other provinces - Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, and Northwest Territories.
