The 2019 Cornas by Mark Haisma is a standout Syrah from France’s Rhône Valley, specifically the steep, granitic slopes of Cornas in the Northern Rhône. This region’s rugged terroir gives the wine its trademark power and savoury complexity. Aussie-born Haisma, once a winemaker at Yarra Yering, has carved a niche in Burgundy and Rhône as a micro-négociant, producing small-batch wines that punch well above their weight.
2019 was a warm vintage, delivering generous ripeness and bold structure. This Cornas brims with dark berries, black olives, smoked meat, and cracked pepper. It’s muscular yet refined, with firm tannins and a long, mineral finish. Haisma’s low-intervention approach lets the vineyard speak — no over-oaking here.
Perfect with hearty fare: think slow-braised lamb shanks, venison stew, or a rich mushroom ragù. Decant for an hour or two and let this brooding beauty open up — it’s a proper treat for Rhône lovers.
