SYRAH
PROVENANCE
Situated in the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine Growing District, our 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. This wine is emblematic of the distinctive, complex and aromatic Syrahs of exceptional quality that saw the region recognised as one of the top four Syrah-producing regions in the world in 2018.

AROMAS
TASTING NOTES
Rich plum and berry-fruit is lifted by fragrant spice, violet
and liquorice aromas.
BODY
TASTING NOTES
The palate is medium-weight and supple with a long finish.
CELLARING
TASTING NOTES
Already drinking exceptionally well, with careful cellaring we expect
this wine will age gracefully for 10 years after its vintage.
