"Delightfully fruited and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows black/blueberry, dark plum, cedar, anise and game characters with a touch of pepper spice. The palate is concentrated and fleshy, delivering layers of delectable flavours and rich texture, wonderfully complemented by velvety mouthfeel and savoury nuances" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2018
Plum and blackberry flavours with hints of florals and spice. Bright palate of sweet, spiced fruit, juicy acidity and ripe tannins.
This Mystery Syrah is grown in the Bridge Pa Triangle subregion of Hawke’s Bay. Warm temperatures, coupled with free draining red metal gravels, provide the ideal conditions for growing Syrah. Crops were thinned down to one bunch per shoot to provide ripe and concentrated fruit flavours.
Fruit for this reserve wine was de-stemmed and partially crushed then fermented in a mixture of open top and closed top tanks. The open fermenters were hand plunged and the closed top were rummaged and pumped-over for extraction. Inoculated with cultivated yeasts to promote fruit aromatics, the wine was also coinoculated for malolactic fermentation during primary fermentation. Fermentation took on average seven days, with a three week post-maceration period before pressing. The wine was racked to French barriques (225L) and matured for nine months before being blended and bottled. The final blend consists of 25% new oak.
Food Pairing: Perfectly matched with tomato based pastas, beef, lamb, pizza and soft creamy cheeses.

Excellent wine at an excellent price.

Excellent wine, the low price does not reflect how good it is. It’s probably at its best now but drinking it now will stop me buying Ozzie Shiraz.
