Natalie's Score: 90/100

Santa Rita Medalla Real Gran Reserva 2018 Syrah is a dry, full-bodied and supple Chilean red with grapes sourced from the Limari Valley. The Limari Valley is cooled by the Camanchaca fogs that enter the semi-arid region from the west each morning until the sun rises over the Andes in the east. Santa Rita's Medalla Real wines are from their oldest sites. Smoky on the nose, the wine is well-rounded and balanced with juicy dark cherry, berry, spicy and smoky black fruit flavours finishing long on a mineral note. Drink or hold. Pour with sirloin burgers and grilled beef long ribs.

Syrah food pairings: slow-cooked roast beef with root vegetables, lamb shanks in a rich red wine sauce.
