A blend of fruit from three of the very best parcels across Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago, including the Wai-iti, Gimblett and the Redstone Vineyards, 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 the years preceding its vintage.

TASTING NOTES
AROMAS
A core of dark plum, red and black berry fruits are overlaid with a classic Hawke’s Bay
Syrah floral perfume and exotic, warm spices. There are also darker liquorice, mineral and
earth notes that bring a serious, brooding undertone. Subtle oak brings extra complexity and texture, imparting notes of vanilla, roasted cacao and a hint of smoke.
BODY
On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied with an impression of sweet fruit and long finish driven by silky tannins and gentle acidity.
CELLARING
This is a fragrant, supple and full-bodied Syrah with a
powerful palate structure that will
reward cellaring.
