The Ceres Plateau experienced a cold, wet winter and moderate flowering conditions, followed by a season of warm nights and cooler-than-average daytime temperatures from December onward. This combination allowed for slow, even ripening and a superb balance of natural acidity. The fruit was hand-picked between 29 February and 11 March. It showed great clarity and vibrancy — marking this as a standout vintage for the Ceres Plateau Syrah.
Bright, lifted, and articulate, the 2024 Ceres Plateau Syrah is the most vibrant and light-stepping of the collection.
The nose reveals blood orange pith, white pepper, and a precise lift of lavender. On the palate, sour cherry, raspberry sherbet, and blood orange meet sweeter blackberry and a clear river-stone texture. High-toned acidity and finer tannins give the wine an elegantly tailored profile — dynamic, extroverted, and finely drawn.
