Elephant Hill Airavata Syrah

Elephant Hill Airavata Syrah is only made in the finest of the fine vintages.

Winemaker Steve Skinner has blended Syrah fruit from their Gimblett Gravels vineyards with coastal Te Awanga fruit with a small portion of Viognier, co-fermented in the best traditions of the Northern Rhone.

They also employed approximately 18% whole bunch ferment, a technique being used to great effect by the very top Hawke’s Bay Syrah producers.

Only very small amounts of Airavata are made, you may not be able to define the excitement in words when you taste it… but you will be utterly convinced of the excitement it delivers.
