Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine has been made for almost twenty years. An elegant, complex, rich, cool climate style wine made using many of the techniques for Pinot Noir. About 5% of the hand-picked fruit is placed in small overhead fermenters as whole bunches with the remainder is destemmed and pumped into fermenters. During fermentation the wine is hand-plunged 3 times per day with he wine and skins run straight from the fermenter into the airbag press. After settling, the wine is transferred into a combination of new to four year old French oak barriques and about 3% American oak where it spends a year, with three rackings. Black plum, blueberry, raspberry – this is soft and juicy on the palate, the tannins are fine grained and balanced.An elegant, complex, rich, cool-climate style wine, this variety is exceeding expectations and will continue to improve through cellaring. Dan says that this wine is made using many techniques which we use in our Pinot Noir production but using Shiraz grapes, giving a wine in the style of the traditional old world Shiraz.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Located in a tiny region southeast of Margaret River, Picardy infuses its love of Burgundy even into its Shiraz, where aromas seem almost Pinot-like. The nose is a lovely combo of brambly red and purple fruit, licorice, earthy spices, violets, and a lick of barnyard funk. The palate is medium bodied, tightly wound by fine, chalky tannins and a lift of bright acidity. A precise, harmonious wine drinking well now and perfect paired with rustic French fare.

Picardy Wines, Australia
Picardy Wines  Winery Image
Picardy is owned and operated by the Pannell family (Bill and Sandra and their son Dan) who established the iconic Moss Wood vineyard and winery in Margaret River in 1969. Captivated by Burgundy and Pinot Noir, the family later sold Moss Wood and established Picardy in 1993 in Pemberton, a cooler region southwest of Margaret River. The philosophy at Picardy is that great wines are made in the vineyard and are only finessed in the winery. All wines are handled gently. Wines are all dry grown, hand picked, estate grown and family run, with three generations of the Pannell family living on the property. Picardy practices at every opportunity to be environmentally friendly from guinea fowls running free to canopy management.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
