"AWARDED BEST BUY... This bright, ripe number offers hints of the gorgeous herbal fragrances of Provence. It's juicy in the mouth, with a lengthy finish. Serve with grilled duck breast" Cuisine Magazine
This is a very ‘varietal’ wine, displaying classic Hawkes Bay Syrah notes including red fruits, pepper and exotic spice notes with a subtle oak integration. It is a medium bodied and food friendly style, enjoyable in its youth but with excellent ageing potential.
The fruit for this wine was hand harvested and fermented in stainless steel and concrete open topped fermenters. The destemmed fruit was fermented with both cultured and indigenous yeasts and macerated on skins at the completion of fermentation. The wine was then transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing. After 14 months in barrel the wine was bottled in September 2013.
This wine is a blend of fruit grown on stony Hawkes Bay vineyard sites. The vines are close planted and intensively managed, employing shoot thinning, leaf plucking and bunch thinning to produce high quality fruit. Hand harvesting ensures only clean and ripe fruit is picked.
(This wine has a UK back label)
