Description

The 2024 vintage in Hawke’s Bay is celebrated for its exceptional quality wines, thanks to favorable weather conditions that allowed the vines to ripen perfectly. The Syrah grapes benefited from this ideal climate, developing a rich complexity and depth of flavour.

Sourced from Selaks' Corner 50 Vineyard, this Syrah is a stylish and well-rounded expression of the Hawke’s Bay region. The grapes were carefully machine harvested, then crushed and destemmed before undergoing fermentation on skins to achieve a rich, vibrant color. This process was enhanced by a warm, open-top fermentation, which further developed the wine’s aromatic profile and depth. Following fermentation, the wine was matured in oak barrels for 8 months, allowing it to develop a refined structure and subtle oak nuances.

Deep ruby red. Captivating aromas ofsweet violet and fresh black currant. Luscious, rich dark red fruits, complimented by subtle notes of vanilla, dried herbs and black pepper. Satin-like tannins on the finish, with a great acid drive.
