Troon Syrah was made with 30% whole cluster. Including whole clusters can enhance syrah’s spice and pepper characteristics while broadening the mid-palate and bringing more freshness to the wine. Like all Troon Vineyard wines, the ferments started spontaneously from indigenous yeasts with no additives. The wine was handled gently during fermentation with just one punch-down or foot-treading per day, and the wine proceeded to ferment outside until it finished roughly three to four weeks later.
