Tasting Notes

Awards: 1 Gold, 2009 Silver, Gold medal Hawkes Bay A P Wineshow 2009Silver medal Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2009
Region: Gimblett Gravels Hawkes Bay
Drink Until: 31122014
Varieties: Syrah 92% Viognier 8%
Alcohol: 13.5%
Foods: Great with any red meat, but especially game such as venison.
Oak: 14 months aging in oak barriques.
Colour: A deep, vibrant crimson.
Nose: Blackberry, black pepper, savoury and spice elements are prominent, with meaty overtones. The Viognier has added a lifted aromatic quality and softened the tannins, making the wine more feminine. Multi-layered complexity is the aim.
Palate: Powerful, but ripe and round tannins give the wine great structure. Oak aging plays a minor part and the wine lives on its fruit. Combined with the good acidity, these characteristics mean excellent aging potential. Development of mineral, earthy and tarry characters are likely during bottle aging, resulting in a wine that is in Northern Rhone-like rather than resembling any thing Australian.
