From a winery and winemaker that has a great track record with Syrah. As befitting the outstanding 2021 vintage the Church Road McDonald Series Syrah is all class.

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"A core of dark plum and berry fruit is overlaid with classic Hawkes Bay Syrah perfume of violets, exotic warm spice and cracked black pepper, supported by subtle oak toast. On the palate the wine is full bodied but fine textured with a gentle tannin structure a balanced acidity bring length and freshness. Well matched to a wide range of full flavoured game and red meat dishes."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"A lovely wine with a bouquet and palate of raspberries and black currant flesh. The tannins and acidity frame the flavour perfectly with tannins and acidity adding texture and complexity. Balanced and well made with a plush and vibrant texture, core fruit flavours and spice reflect the variety with best best drinking from 2024 through 2029."

95/100 Judges' Comments, Decenter World Wine Awards 2024 (2020 Vintage)
"Clusters of blackcurrant, plum and blueberry fruit pervade the plush, supple texture and engaging acidity and combine flawlessly with the vanilla, coffee oak core. Stylish and long."

95/100 International Wine Challenge 2023, Judges Comment (2020 Vintage)
"Juicy blueberries, raspberries with a hint of pepper. Balanced mid-palate with integrated alcohol. Long structured lush finish."

4 ½ Stars, Best Buy & Top 10, Cuisine NZ Syrah Tasting, June 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Medium coloured with just a hint of fade, this is an understated style with lovely complexity. Ripe fruit with pepper spice, mocha and toasty oak that has been well handled and integrated is evident on the nose and palate. Fruit and tannin are beautifully balanced."

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"Already enjoyable, the 2020 vintage is full-coloured, with a fragrant, spicy bouquet. Mouthfilling, it has generous plum and black pepper flavours, seasoned with nutty oak, excellent complexity and harmony, and ripe, supple tannins. Best drinking 2024+."
