Syrah

Strictly one per person

Dark, peppery and appealingly spicy aromatic Syrah from the northern Wairarapa Lynfer Vineyard. Hand picked grapes with intense flavours of deeply rich black plum fruit were all hand picked and destemmed with fermentation and
maceration in stainless steel for 14 days. The wine was aged in 228 litre French oak barrels for 12 months and the wine was bottled unfined and
unfiltered. Still youthful, drinking beautifully and has a good four to five years of ageing potential up its sleeve.

"100% Syrah. Aged for 12 months in 400- and 600-litre barrels (none new) and a further 2 months in tank. Barrel sample. Tasted blind. Spicy and very vibrant nose with crushed violets and raspberry. Superb fresh acidity and an elegant lightness of touch, with structured and layered tannins. Good concentration of fruit behind this and a long fresh textured finish. (AC)."
