Syrah
Chaberton Estate Winery
2022 Syrah
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia VQA
Bold yet refined, the 2022 Syrah captures the rich character and structure of Okanagan Valley fruit. This vintage highlights Syrah’s signature dark fruit and savoury spice, supported by careful barrel aging that enhances complexity while allowing the varietal’s natural expression to shine.
A thoughtful oak program using both Hungarian and French barrels contributes subtle structure and layered spice, creating a balanced wine with depth and a smooth, lingering finish.
