La Chapelle is our limited edition award-winning old-vine blend. Dominantly Syrah with a touch of Grenache, this wine is aged in oak for 18 months to offer a rich and complex bouquet of black fruits, leather, tobacco and spices.
A long living wine for special occasions.
Sweet leather, delicious character and a finesse. Drinking really well now. 92/100
- Silver Medal, International Wine Challenge, May 2019
Dark, luscious and with lots of smooth character. Very polished and obviously made with great care.
— Jancis Robinson, Aug 2007
The top wine of the estate and a meaty, smoky, old-school Syrah that doesn’t lack for character... medium-bodied and nicely fruited on the palate, with an elegant, rich texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. Perfect for a cold winter day, or a hearty meal, enjoy it anytime over the coming 4-5 years. There’s just over 200 cases made.- Robert Parker Wine Advocate, April 2017
Note the 2009 and 2013 are on the old label design.
