"Its splendidly fruited and fragrant on the nose, showing Black Doris plum, blueberry, tar, game, and toasted nut aromas. The succulent palate delivers excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, well supported by fleshy texture and finely infused tannins, finishing long and tasty. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit Dec 2024

"Excellent colour and brightness with a core of deep purple and ruby edges. Aromas and flavours pepper spice and dark berries, lots of raspberry and plum then black currant and layers of wood spice and earth. Firm tannisn with plenty of acidity for freshness and to carry the core fruit flavours that speak to the variety and Matahiwi style. Well made with development time necessary. Best drinking from late 2026 through 2032+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

A vibrant and expressive Syrah, bursting with lifted notes of violet, ripe blueberry, cracked pepper and a hint of toasted spice. The palate is plush and smooth, layered with juicy boysenberry and plum, flowing through to a long, velvety finish.

Sourced from mature, low-yielding vines in the Bridge Pa Triangle, the fruit delivers exceptional concentration and depth.

The 2024 vintage in Hawke’s Bay was outstanding for reds, thanks to warm, dry conditions throughout the season.

After a three-week fermentation on skins with gentle extraction, the wine was matured in both barrel and tank for eight months, allowing the fruit and tannin to knit together seamlessly before blending and bottling.

Food Pairing: A natural partner for pasta, pizza, or hearty red meats such as duck, venison, lamb and beef.
