‘HOME BLOCK’, HAWKE’S BAY SYRAH 2022

NZ$50.00

Dry farmed, hand Picked, 100% whole bunch fermented, unfined.

Our Home Block vineyard is located in the inland sub-district called Mangatahi. At an elevation of 165 metres with a 6 degree northward tilt and deep red gravel soils, these site characteristics set the resulting wine apart from the competition.

The 2022 growing season kicked off with a warm early start. La Nina conditions persisted throughout the season meaning warm wet conditions persisted through until harvest. Precise canopy and crop management was essential to ensure bunches remained sound through to ripeness. Even then a very selective pick was required to harvest fruit in the ideal condition to craft fine red wine.

This Syarh has a dark garnet colour with vivid crimson hues. It aromatically abounds with black cherry, blueberry, aniseed, a hint of tar and whisp of black pepper. The palate is rich and persistent with mouth filling fruit coated in fine fruit tannin.

While this Syrah is beautiful on its own, it also pairs wonderfully with beef, lamb or game.
