Situated in the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine Growing District, Redstone Vineyard is one of the warmest vineyards in Hawke's Bay, perfect for the cultivation of later ripening varieties. This site typically produces ripe, supple, and very aromatic wine with an amalgam of red and black fruit and lifted floral fragrance.
Tasting Notes
Aromas: A wine of great depth, the fruit expresses as ripe berry and black plum, with top notes of violet, lavender, liquorice and anise. The vibrant fruit is tempered by darker complexities evoking warm earth, new leather, cedar, cacao and savoury roasted notes, along with an underlying minerality typical of this vineyard.
Body: The palate is fine, full and long with a silky tannin structure that gives an overall impression of elegance, completeness and restrained power.
Cellaring
While approachable now, good Hawke's Bay Syrah will age gracefully for 20 years or more.
