Spider Pig Syrah 2022 Per Case
Description
Spider Pig Syrah 2022
A vibrant, naturally made Syrah — juicy, spice-led, and full of character.
The Spider Pig Syrah 2022 brings a lighter, more playful energy to the variety while still delivering proper depth and structure. Made with hand-picked fruit, natural fermentation, minimal intervention, and stainless steel maturation, it focuses on purity, spice, and drinkability rather than heaviness.
This is a Syrah that feels modern and expressive: fruit-forward, savoury where it needs to be, and built for the table. It keeps its freshness through careful handling and avoids overworking in the cellar, allowing the wine’s natural personality to stay front and centre.
