Paritua Stone Paddock Hawke's Bay Syrah 2020
- French oak
- Ripe dark berries
- Exotic spice & herbs
- Elegant & plush
"Varied soil depth results in some variation in ripening with the stony areas producing riper floral and fruit flavours while the silt produces more peppery characters. Deep, inky syrah with cassis, dark berry, blackcurrant, black pepper, floral/violet and anise/spice flavours. Impressive wine both texturally and in flavour intensity. Can be enjoyed now but shows obvious cellaring potential. Great value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jul 2022
"Offering excellent fruit ripeness and perfume, the wine shows dark plum, sweet cherry, floral and subtle spice aromas on the nose, followed by a beautifully rounded palate displaying fleshy texture and fine-grained tannins. Pristine and flavoursome with a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2021
"Deep, full, ruby-red with a purple core, lighter on the rim. The nose is full, packed with succulent aroma of blackberries, plums, melded with clove, dark herbs, and peppery spice. Full-bodied, savoury edged blackberries intermixed red ones, plums, enriched by dried herbs, clove, black pepper and mocha. The wine is packed with fruit and freshness; herbaceous and spice details added complexity. Fine-grained tannin extraction contributes to weight and texture on the palate. This Syrah has generous flavours of fruit, rich herbs and spices on a savoury, fine-grained palate. Match with char-siu and grilled lamb over the next 3-5 years. Fruit from Bridge Pa Triangle, destemmed, partially crushed to tank, a short period of cold soaked, fermented to 14% alc, aged in barriques for 12 months" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews Oct 2021
An aroma of ripe blueberry blackberry and violets, savoury notes of cured meat, exotic spice, clove and dried herbs de Provence. The palate is elegant and plush with fruit flavours of fresh red plum and blackberry, five spice and white pepper round off the finish.
Two clones of Syrah are grown in our Triangle vineyard. Soils are stony river gravels with a silt loam cover. The loam top layer varies in depth from 50cm deep to being completely absent. This causes some variation in ripening, with the silty areas producing slightly higher degrees of pepper notes and the stones providing the riper floral and fruit spectrum. Fruit thinning is essential, and the canopy is fastidiously managed to allow good sunlight and airflow over the grapes.
The fruit was destemmed and passed over our optical grape sorter, then partially crushed to tank. Fermentation was preceded by a short period of cold soaking. Fermentation temperatures reached 30°C and daily cap management varied from two to three pump-overs a day. Barrel maturation is in French oak barriques for 12 months or more of which 20% new. This wine is unfined and was filtered before bottling. Drink from now till 2030.
Food Pairing: Suckling pig, spit roasted meats, sashimi, eggplant based dishes.
