"Great colour and bouquet with dark ruby and purples, black currant and soft licorice spice, baked plum and a fine layer of pepper dust. Dry with medium weight and intensity, flavours of dark berries and spice, a light smoky wood quality and textures from firm-ish tannins and acid line. Developing nicely with best drinking from 2025 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2024

With bright crimson hues, this delicious Syrah is bursting with blue fruits, plum, violets, and spice. There’s a lovely earthiness on the palate with notes of raspberry, florals and just a touch of black pepper coming through. Plush tannins and a robust mouthfeel round off the finish.

Sourced from New Zealand's premium red wine region, the grapes for this Syrah were harvested predominantly from the Gimblett Gravels sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. The wine was matured with French oak for 10 months.

Food Pairing: Pair with braised beef and barbecued vegetables.
