The vines originate from a Heritage clone of Syrah brought to New Zealand around 150 years ago. Produced from the gravelly soils of the Gimblett Gravels, this distinct Syrah shows an aromatic lift of floral and pepper aromatics with lushness and elegance on the palate. Deep red with a purple hue. Tremendous aromatic lift, with lavender and sweet cherries rising from the glass. The palate has significant density but a perfect balance that already encourages drinking.

The nose is vibrant and lifted, with aromas of boysenberry, sour plum and black peppercorns. The palate is long and lush, with tightly wound tannin and mouth-watering acidity. This wine finishes grippy and peppery, with rich earth and exotic spice characters.

Rich blackberry flavours and dark mocha chocolate. The palate is superbly balanced with smooth silky tannins.

Aromas of dark berry and satsuma plum cleverly supported with spicy mocha, liquorice, vanilla, and pepper. The aromas are mirrored by the flavours on the palate with dark chocolate undertones and silky tannins in the background.

You will be reaching for the second glass faster than you can say Fat Bastard.

The colour is a deep dense red with blood red hues. The aroma is a Shiraz dream, inviting you to delve deeper into its wonderous blend of developing fruit, earth, spice and oak.

The palate is smooth, full, rich and powerful with great flavour and length.
