Ochota Barrels, Where's The Pope? Syrah 2024 Low Sulphites lifting on the finishThe Ochota Barrels "Where's The Pope?" Syrah 2023 is a small batch, low intervention red wine from South Australia. Lifted and aromatic, featuring blackberries, violets, and white pepper. It also has savory undertones of olive tapenade, crushed autumn leaves, and subtle hints of clove or bouillon. It offers a mix of dark fruit, wild raspberries, and satsuma plums. The texture is svelte and silky, with a "crunchy" acidity and fine, velvety tannins.
