2020 Heretaunga Syrah
Vibrant moderate ruby colour. Lovely aromas of ripe red fruits, cassis, red flowers, spice and a hint of tobacco and blackcurrant leaf. The palate is medium weight with fresh raspberry, plum and sweet herb flavours balanced by a lovely seam of vanilla and cedar from both fruit and oak maturation. Long and graceful.
2021 Omahu Syrah - 97 Points
Dense, brooding, dark garnet colour. The nose is intoxicating with aromas of blackberry, raspberry compote, black cherry, iodine and the distinctive sandalwood of fine Gimblett Gravels Syrah. The palate is rich, dense, and brooding with baking spices, black fruit, and a fine thread of cedar and vanilla from the new French oak barrels. The finish is long, fine, and moreish.
2023 Heretaunga Rosé of Syrah
A brilliant natural pale salmon colour. Lovely delicate flavours of fresh berries, meadow herbs, apricot and just a hint of cinnamon with complexity and breadth on the palate coming from lees contact. A refreshing finish with dry talcum powder tannins. A serious Rosé.
