2023 Herringbone Syrah, Hawkes Bay
$35.99
The 2023 Herringbone Syrah was made from 100% hand harvested, Syrah grapes from our vineyard. After fermentation the wine was matured for 12 months in premium French oak barrels and is now ready for release.
This is the perfect wine to share now that the cooler months are upon us. It is smooth on the palate with some lovely plum and berry notes up front and a nice subtle spice to finish.
This wine will continue to improve in the bottle and will cellar well for 7 years but is ready to drink now if you can’t wait!
“Bright and youthfully attractive, the wine shows Black Doris plum, spiced cherry, tar, game and floral aromas on the nose, leading to a gorgeously succulent palate that’s supple and rounded. Elegant and beautifully layered with fine texture and polished tannins, finishing lingering and complex.” – Wineorbit
