Description
An exceptional harvest of quality fruit sees our 2015 vintage delivering all the character of 2014 and more. This one is already displaying the classic hallmarks of a quality New Zealand Syrah. Expect a touch of berry on the nose, full fruit flavours and a smooth peppery finish. This will drink well now but will pay dividends if cellared.
“Very polished aromas; new oak cinnamon and vanilla woven with redcurrant and red cherry. Plenty of richness, not much peppery characters but instead some bold ripe plummy fruit.”
Awarded 3.5 stars from Winestate Magazine
“Estate-grown on Moturoa Island, in the Bay of Islands, the 2015 vintage is a rare Northland red, worth discovering. Still unfolding, it has deep, bright, moderately youthful colour, with a fragrant, ripe, spicy bouquet. Fresh and full-bodied, it is sweet-fruited, with strong, plummy, berryish, spicy flavours, a hint of liquorice, good tannin backbone and a lasting finish. Best drinking 2021+.”
