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.
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.
