Winery notes, 2021 Vintage
"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."
Winemaker notes, Sanna Stander, 2021 Vintage
"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."
Rated 92+/100, Cameron Douglas MS, 2021 Vintage (June 2024)
"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+."
Rated 93/100, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 2021 Vintage (June 2024)
"It's splendidly fruited and enticing on the nose with Black Doris plum, blueberry, rich floral and warm spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's plump and flavoursome. Beautifully framed by finely infused tannins, finishing long and delectable. At its best: now to 2029."
