Hawke's Bay Syrah 2021
Description
About the Wine:
The 2020/2021 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was mild and dry producing deliciously ripe, vibrant, and juicy early-drinking Syrah. Parcels from our three Gimblett Gravels vineyards were harvested separately and de-stemmed prior to fermentation. Gentle daily pumping over of the skins during fermentation helped extract a soft, complex structure. Extended maceration on skins following fermentation helped to further integrate and soften the tannins. The wine was seasoned in small- and large-format French oak barrels, the individual batches were then blended to create an ideal marriage of components.
The perfume/florals and spice of Syrah introduce a fruit-dominant, complex wine bursting with intense blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry fruit flavours. Supple tannins, crisp acidity, and a touch of toasty oak, combine on the palate to produce a succulent, lingering, and spicy finish. Released young to emphasize the beautiful perfume and fruit freshness, this wine can be enjoyed on its own or partnered with a wide range of foods, particularly red meat dishes, game, or pasta. Drink over the next five to eight years for maximum enjoyment.
