2016 UNBroken Press Syrah
2016 UNBroken Press Syrah
If you know our iconic Broken Press Syrah, meet its untamed sibling. The name “Unbroken” doesn’t mean we fixed anything—it means we left out the Viognier that usually softens Broken Press. What you get here is 100% Syrah, pure and unfiltered in personality. No gentle floral lift, no soothing touch—just raw, brooding Syrah power in all its glory.
This wine is a masterclass in umami. From the first swirl, savoury notes leap out of the glass: think sweet teriyaki, salty soy sauce, and a dusting of allspice. Dark berry fruit adds depth, giving the wine a plush, fruit-driven core to balance its savoury complexity. On the palate, it’s layered, brooding, and unapologetically bold—the kind of Syrah that makes you want to pour another glass just to chase down its flavours.

UMAMI… you know that mysterious fifth flavour? Well it’s not so mysterious here! With just one swirl of the glass, your mouth begins to salivate with anticipation of the savoury Syrah flavours to come. A combination of sweet teriyaki, salty soya and brooding all-spice, this cool-climate Syrah is decidedly complex. Dark berry fruit lingers and sets the tone for the follow through of flavours on the palate
If you aren’t familiar with our Broken Press Syrah, we think you should try a bottle. But wait a minute – this bottle is UNBroken Press – huh? Well, we didn’t “unbreak” anything: the bad pun refers to the fact that, while Broken Press features a bit of co-fermented Viognier for complexity, the UNBroken is 100% Syrah, pure and proud from our Queenston Road Vineyard. What’s the diff? Without gentle, sweet Viognier to soothe its fevered brow, Syrah’s inherent brooding power rages unchecked, untamed and yes, UNBroken. Take a ride on this bucking’ bronco and catch the spirit.
Think about Middle-Eastern inspired lamb dishes. We love a good lamb shawarma, smothered with those iconic Middle-Eastern spices served with a dollop of labneh and a sprinkle of freshly-chopped mint.
