Richmond Plains Syrah Hawkes Bay 2020

Richmond Plains Syrah grapes have been handpicked from our vineyard to produce this exciting wine variety.

Tasting: “Offering fabulous fruit purity and perfume, the bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry, violet and mixed spice aromas. The succulent palate delivers terrific fruit richness with elegant complexity. It’s plump and flavoursome, finishing long and beautifully supple. At its best: now to 2028.” Wine Orbit – July 2022

Wine Making: The grapes were hand harvested, de-stemmed, crushed and then transferred to an open top fermenter. Traditional hand plunging of the cap was carried out throughout the wild ferment. The juice was then matured in French oak barrels where it aged for 16 months. The wine went through full malolactic fermentation in the spring and then blended, filtered and bottled.

Diet: This wine is suitable for a vegan diet.
