Syrah is the red icon of the uber-cool Great Southern with different interpretations within the five sub-regions of Mount Barker, Porongurup, Frankland River, Albany and Denmark.

Redemption Syrah is sourced from Mount Barker and Frankland River.The Shiraz from Mount Barker is located west of the township with gravelly low vigour soils on a ridge top with east-west rows. This vineyard has been the cornerstone of Redemption Syrah since 2012. The Frankland components are from the ridgetop of an old vineyard west of the township with a great northern aspect and well drained gravels.

Both batches were fermented in open top fermenters with wild yeast, hand plunged caps and some whole bunches. After 10-14 days on skins each component was pressed separately, then racked to puncheons for malolactic fermentation. After maturation for 12 months the 2 parcels were blended for bottling.

Winery Tasting Notes

The 2020 Redemption Syrah is from a warm low cropping vintage which has produced an opaque purple-red Syrah of power and intensity with signature restraint. Raspberry, red licorice, anise, Szechuan pepper and earth notes keep swirling on the nose. The medium bodied palate is even and long, showcasing glossy fine layered tannins, earthy/savoury/umami complexity and great balance and length.

Delicious with marinated meats, bbq and chorizo.

Winery Profile

Snake and Herring was founded in 2011 by two wine industry junkies, Redmond “Herring” Sweeny and Tony “Snake” Davis. Compelled to walk away from their professional roles at the same time, Redmond and Tony decided to embark on a journey to create their own wine label. Over a parcel of epic Porongurup Riesling, an idea began to form. Many late-night texts were exchanged and early morning vineyard rendezvous arranged and before long Snake + Herring was created and a Porongurup Riesling born.

Like a good wine, Redmond and Tony are a well-balanced team. Tony tends to be dreamy, geeky, moved by the magnificence of science in wine. Capturing and bottling the best of fruit from each site and vintage really ignites him. Redmond has an agricultural and accounting background as well as a forklift driver's ticket and he's not afraid to use it. He knows the market, he knows how to sell wine and thankfully he has a cracking palate.

This partnership has seen Snake + Herring achieve great success, with their latest triumph being the opening of Yarri Restaurant + Bar Dunsborough with Sal Davis and awarded chef Aaron Carr at the helm.

The journey continues!
