The wine's acidity is refreshing, adding vibrancy and ensuring a long, lingering finish. The Dry River Lovat Vineyard Syrah is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, especially lamb or beef, as well as hearty stews and aged cheeses. Overall, this Syrah is a true expression of the Lovat Vineyard's terroir, offering a captivating and memorable drinking experience.
