About this Item

De Trafford
Glenrosa Syrah, 2021
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“The thing that really interests me with wine is starting from scratch with the bare earth and designing a wine from the ground up.” - David Trafford

100% Syrah

  • A tiny pocket of stony Glenrosa soil in the middle of our Elevation 393 vineyard was identified and vinified separately to produce only one and a half barrels.
  • Just one 225 litre barrel was bottled for this auction wine.
  • Only the fourth Syrah I've selected for the auction following Syrah 1999, 2009 and Sijnn Syrah 2011.
  • 2021 is possibly the best vintage I've had the privilege of working with.

Tasting Notes: Bright, medium-deep red colour. Pronounced spiciness and red berry fruit on the nose. Fine red fruit and spices on the palate with a unique creamy texture and long finish.

Ready for drinking from 2024 to 2033.
