Winemakers Notes
Clos de Ste Anne is a single vineyard situated on steep northeast facing slopes in the foothills of Poverty Bay. The 2005 Syrah is grown in a little bowl high up in the slopes of this estate. Protected on all sides by the topography, it faces directly into the north west and is best described as “The Crucible” The first crop of hand harvested fruit was chilled, de-stemmed and fermented in wooden vats after the addition of whole clusters of Viognier grapes, placed discreetly in the bottom of the fermenter. Aged on lees for six months in older wood, in Spring the wine was transferred to new barrels to mature and harmonise.
Cellaring
Cellaring potential five years from the date of release.
