"Perfumed with floral violet and sweet berry aromatics, a touch of gamey spice and dark liquorice notes. Rich and flavoursome on the palate with concentrated layers of berry fruits, soft fine tannins and juicy acidity giving a long and delicious finish.
This wine was made from 100% MS Clone Syrah grown on the stony and sandy lower terrace of the vineyard. The grapes were fermented in open top tanks. The ferments also included a 15% Syrah whole bunch component for added complexity. Gentle hand plunging was used for extraction. The wine was then held on skins for a total of 4 weeks giving an extended period of post ferment maceration to build richness. The wine was then pressed and racked to French oak barriques where it was aged for 9 months. The final blend has a 20% new oak component and 20% second fill."

90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Fruity, varietal and very youthful with a peppercorn and olive bouquet, then red fruits from black currant to plum. Dry, taut and youthful on the palate with fine tannins and plenty of acidity to frame the core flavours of red berry fruits, kalamata olive, herb and peppercorn. A wine that is tasty, food oriented, youthful and still developing. Best drinking alongside food from day of purchase through 2029."
91/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.com, July 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A Hawke’s Bay wine from a label that perennially over-delivers on the price of the bottle, with many of their wines offering terrific value for money. A juicy new 2022 Syrah shows a brilliant dark ruby in the glass, with equally bright and perky aromatics of boysenberry, mocha, bramble and lots of plum on the nose. Medium-weight and well balanced with a viscous flow through the palate. Nothing too complex or angular here – just a well-articulated, juicy expression that is big on character and long on plush flavour. The finish is sleek and glossy, with good length."
90/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Pristine and elegantly lifted on the nose with sweet plum, pomegranate, thyme, hazelnut and floral aromas, it's beautifully rounded and finely textured in the mouth offering ripe fruit intensity with fine-grained tannins. Elegant and approachable. At its best: now to 2028."
