Vibrant and lifted with plum, black pepper, violets and dried herbs. French oak contributes subtle vanilla and cedar aromas. Supple and smooth with fine soft tannins and medium weight. Cherry, plum and red brambly notes join with a touch of cocoa and nutmeg. Bright, juicy and lingering finish.

Syrah grapes were harvested from our Bridge Pa Triangle vineyard, St John and one of our Gimblett Gravels blocks on Omahu Rd. The fruit was fermented with judicious working of the “cap” to manage phenolic extraction. After an extended period on skins, the young wine was drained to new and old French oak for maturation for a period of seven months.

Makes an ideal partner to strongly flavoured foods such as balsamic marinated steak or an antipasto platter of salami, artichokes, olives and sun dried tomatoes.
