Pure grapey aromas are complimented by red spices, herbs and lavender. The palate has a gentle entry with subtle spicy fruit flavours filling the mid palate. The tight structure gives the wine a succulent dry finish with lingering flavours of red fruit, anise, liquorice and a mineral saltiness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eAll grapes used in producing our wines are grown on Keermont Vineyards.

It spent 20 months maturing in seasoned 500-liter French oak barrels before being bottled by hand without filtration. It has a perfumed, Côte-Rôtie-like bouquet of detailed blackberry, briar and light iris aromas, and just a little chalkiness in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannin, a fine line of acidity and a linear, structured, gently grippy finish with hints of Provençal herbs on the sustained aftertaste. An outstanding Syrah from Keermont. - Neal Martin\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Vinous (August 29th 2018), 94 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e    \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Unblended, the 2015 Topside Syrah is fresh and dusty on the nose with soft, black fruit expression and a fine, black-spice edge. The medium to full-bodied palate has a dusty, varietally correct expression with a soft grip of tannins and a mineral edge with sandy, black pepper tones. It finishes long with lingering, dusty mineral notes. The Topside vineyard is situated on a hill opposite the Steepside vineyard. 2,541 bottles were made.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e    \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue # 256, October 2019), 93 pts\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keermont Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948981415983,"sku":"SA0EE245032SYM","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/keermont_topside_syrah_hq_label_32784eee-59f6-4ff7-9ad6-e4ba917e7cfe.jpg?v=1771486593","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/keermont-topside-syrah-2015","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
