Luke sources his Syrah from the Tibooburra vineyard that was planted in 2001 on a southwest sloping site that lies in a cool microclimate of Yarra Valley. The soils here are considered very unusual for the Yarra, comprising a seam of black volcanic topsoil over yellow clay with a bit of granite intermixed. Fermented with wild yeast, 80% wholes bunches, aged in neutral oak (a ten year old, 50hL). The wine was left unsulfured until just prior to bottling, without fining or filtration.

Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...

Australia

Australian Shiraz (made from the grape called “Syrah” in other parts of the world) shows the essence of the outback: it’s big, bold, and a little rough around the edges. The vast country leaves lots of room for variation, however, with its many terroirs each yielding distinctively styled wines. The climate of South Australia’s McLaren Vale district is heavily influenced by the ocean; wines here typically show savory notes of olive and spice on the nose and deep berry flavors on the palate....

Victoria

The state of Victoria, adjacent to and southeast of South Australia, is Australia’s third-largest producer of wine. Climatically very varied (its higher-altitude vineyards are the coolest in Australia), Victoria is home to the most diverse assortment of vineyards in Australia, with a particular focus on cooler-climate varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Shiraz production tends to be concentrated in the central viticultural regions of Grampians, Pyrenees, and Heathcote, where the...
