Winery note

"Our Reserve Syrah is only released in vintages when the fruit and the resulting wine are of superb quality.   

Selectively picked Te Awanga fruit. Matured in seasoned oak barriques.  Exhibits fragrant violets, highly concentrated blackberry & spice; hints of white pepper and a seasoning of finely textured smoky oak

Whole bunch fermented in an open-top vat with regular hand plunging.  Ambient yeast create complexity & palate weight.  Extended maceration for up to 4 weeks to extract all the wonderful tannins."
