Iggy Forreston Syrah 2021

From the producer: Typical Forreston Syrah character on the nose. Vibrant and complex. Notes of sour cherry, red currant, and even a touch of eucalyptus. It seems like with every sniff the bouquet gains another dimension. Deep red in colour with brighter hues around the edge. Mouthfeel is as mineral as one could expect from rocky soils on top of the ridge. Invigorating natural acidity shines through nicely, leading into the sensation of tannin structure, which is supporting the wine beautifully, while not being too upfront. It offers a very pleasant composition of fruit flavours and savoury elements. Wine that is very approachable now, but it will definitely gain complexity as it ages.

Iggy is the brainchild of Timna and Igor Kucic, two Slovenian-born winemakers with nearly 23 vintages under their belts. Between the two of them, they have worked at some of the most reputable wine houses around the world, developing a deep love for wine and vineyards that express terroir and use sustainable farming practices. During their time here, the couple have develop a deep appreciation for Australian wine and a love for wines from their home country - leading to Iggy producing quintessentially Australian wines alongside cuvees that pay homage to the storied history of Slovenian winemaking.
