| Produced By
Awhitu |
| Tasting Notes |
|
The nose suggests lifted aromas of dark berry fruits, leather and peppery spice, while the palate reflects integrated tannins and full bodied layers of flavour. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
The 100% Syrah wine is made in a Rhone style with classic French winemaking techniques and matured in 50% new and seasoned barriques for 14 months. |
| Viticulture Notes |
This complex single vineyard wine is from Auckland's Awhitu Peninsula with its unique messo climate. The 'terrior' of the warm, free draining soil and low rainfall area is displayed in this truly handcrafted small volume syrah.

| TiZwine Accolades |
  |
| An earthy, herbal, savoury nose gives way to quite intense fruit flavours that are combined with firm, chalky tannins that will soften as the wine ages. |
