MIKE’S WINE NOTES:
Mike Davies – Co-founder Greenskin Wine, winemaker and wine packaging specialist.
- Colour: This beautiful Margaret River 2020 Syrah is deep red with bright purple and crimson tinges in colour.
- Nose: Has a bouquet packed with primary red fruit characters of plums cranberries and prunes with hints of charcoal, white pepper and strawberry leaf.
- Palate: An abundant palate which is lifted with juicy fruit, liquorice, spice, hazelnut and charcuterie.
HUON’S WINE NOTES:
Huon Hooke is a leading Australian wine writer, critic, educator and show judge, best known for his columns in Sydney Morning Herald Good Food and Good Weekend.
Deep red with a good tint of purple, aromas of iron filings, blood and spices greet the nose, together with a suggestion of iodine and a note of prune. It’s full-bodied and ample while the tannins are a wee bit edgy and harsh. Food will moderate this, and a good decant will also.
89/100 points. Bronze Medal Winner.

Really enjoyed this red. I had stock piled 3 cases for our 6 week trip in the caravan but made the mistake of opening a case just to try one pouch. Now I have to buy another case for the van trip. Great drinking wine.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rox! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Syrah — and we totally get it! Once you open a pouch, it’s hard to resist. Sounds like your caravan trip is going to be even better with Greenskin Wine along for the ride. We’ll happily help you restock for your adventure! Safe travels and happy sipping. Cheers, Kim and Mike

Tasted the Syrah as one of the medley pack. Followed up with a Syrah six. A smooth, easy drinking Shiraz that is good as an aperitif with a cube of ice or as a dinner wine without. A great example of a Margret River red from McHenry Hohnen.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Paul! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Syrah so much in the Medley Pack that you ordered another 6-pack of Syrah – it sure is a top drop! Winemaker Japo from McHenry Honen never lets us down; he really knows how to bring out the best of Margaret River Reds. Thanks for taking the time to send your feedback! Cheers, Mike and Kim 🍷

Great tasing wine and loved the convenience of the pouches when travelling. So much easier than carting bottles and the easy post pack for returning the empties makes it even better. Will definitely buy these wines again.
