Hawkes Bay Syrah with a nose of raspberries, spice and pepper. In the mouth the wine is soft and generous with flavours of red berries and jam, an underlying acidity provides elegance and length. Delicious as a young wine it will also reward cellaring.

The grapes for this wine were grown in two contrasting Hawkes Bay sites. The free draining stony gravels of Gimblett Road provide the wine with dark fruit notes and a tannic frame while the limestone soils of the Heipipi Vineyard in Bay View adds perfume and complexity. Both these free draining vineyard sites are planted with the Limmer clone and are aged from 12 to 25 years.
