Bond’s Lane Greenvale Syrah 2006 Thursday, May 8 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Sunbury and Variety and Red and shiraz et al
Greenvale is near the Melbourne airport, so I’ve plopped this wine in the Sunbury region. The vineyard is dry grown and the wine was made by Antonio Nania, Bruno D’Anna and Franco D’Anna using natural yeast, no filtration or pumping, and gravity feeds. This is the inaugural release.
A lovely nose, with the aromas oscillating between black cherries, red currants and black currants, with some vanilla pod, spice, and a matchstickiness. The palate is soft, red fruits, blackcurrants, liquorice, old black pepper and some matchstick on the finish. On the lighter side of medium bodied, with soft tannins and highly drinkable.

Same points from me as well - a charming wine. I found the fragrant whole bunch characters and shake of pepper very appealing but it was just a little short for higher points.
