Syrah
The 2007 vintage of Bilancia Syrah is a blend of approximately 20% la collina fruit and 80% from Gimblett Gravels. (la collina (the hill) is Bilancia's own terraced hillside vineyard on Roys Hill). There is also around 2% Viognier included in the blend. All the components were hand harvested and crushed to open top fermenters for hand plunging during fermentation. The Viognier component, from the la collina vineyard, was harvested and co-fermented with a portion of the la collina Syrah. The pressed wine was run to French oak, 40% new, for malolactic fermentation and the wine was aged in these barrels for 16 months.

Notes
The aroma is of ripe red fruits with characteristic black pepper whilst the palate shows floral, plum and raspberry characters with well integrated oak. The wine has great mouthfeel and balance. It is extremely approachable now but will certainly benefit from further aging.
