Critic Jeb Dunnuck, describes it as "one of the finest co-ops in the world". They boast extensive vineyards across the finest appellations – no wonder they make superb, rich wines.

The best Syrah grapes have been handpicked, fermented and matured in French barriques to craft this powerful red with great complexity and a long finish. It's brimful of black fruits and tobacco spice and makes a perfect accompaniment to beef wellington, rich casserole or truffle dishes.
