"Upfront and fruit-expressive, the wine shows Black Doris plum, sweet cherry, thyme, game, and nutmeg aromas on the nose, followed by a silky palate that's plump and smooth. Well rounded and lingering with tasty, juicy flavours. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025

Magenta with purple hues. Floral, spice and white pepper aromas. A structured wine great fruit purity and great length of flavour.

The grapes that went into this wine were sourced from our Seventeen Valley vineyard in the Wairau Valley in Marlborough. This is one of our warmest vineyard sites and along with super low yields, produces the ripeness levels required for Syrah. Grapes were cold soaked, fermented in small parcels and aged for eleven months in French oak barriques.

Food Pairing: Drinking well now and up to 2030. Great with red or gamey meats and pasta.
