the very essence of Gimblett Gravels Syrah and a compelling yet affordable example of why international wine writers are calling for Syrah to make up more than its current 4% of Hawkes Bay’s plantings.
SMELLS
- Impressively concentrated dark and fragrant fruits, with notes of cracked pepper, violet and spice.
TASTES
- A juicy palate with elegant structure encompassing flavours of darkest cherry, plum, cinnamon, jasmine and pepper.
- The tannins are silky making it very approachable now but the impressive structural elements of this Syrah will enable it to develop more fullness and roundness over the next 3-5 years.
