A wine of concentration and richness with an elegant, velvety tannin structure whilst still retaining the fresh, lifted aromatics synonymous of Hawke's Bay Syrah.
Tasting Notes
Rich, ripe and fragrant, this wine expresses layers of dark berry and cherry fruit supported by lifted violet perfume, warm exotic spice and notes of dusty cacao, vanilla, smoky charcuterie and a subtle underlying earthiness. On the palate, the wine manages both luxuriousness and elegance with a plushness of texture that is supported by silky tannins, drawing the wine out across the back palate and lending great length to the finish.
Enjoy With
Game and red meat dishes or robust vegetarian dishes particularly displaying more earthy or savoury elements will work well with this wine.
