Advocate Syrah
A bold and spicy oak-aged Syrah
Our conception of this classic Southern French grape variety is made from low-yielding vines over 20 years old which gives the wine its intense flavours. Oak aged for 8 to 10 months this wine is ready to drink now but will continue to improve for several years.
