This premium Hawke’s Bay Syrah showcases the character of Gimblett Gravels’ distinctive stony soils, delivering plush layers of blackberry and dark plum with elegant notes of violet, pepper, warm spice and savoury complexity. Silky tannins provide structure and finesse, while impressive length brings depth, balance and refinement to the finish.

Critic Scores

Luscious red cherry, rich cinnamon and white pepper unite on the beautifully aromatic nose. That same, sumptuous cherry fruit fills the palate while white pepper shimmers. This is juicy, glossy, dense, vivid and oh so intense. There is an inky, fruity urgency there that is simply beautiful. Glorious Syrah.

Fabulous colour and concentration with a dark fruited, broody bouquet, layers of blackcurrant and smoky oak, clove and vanilla-pod, dried herb and purple fruits. Dry with a heavy-silk touch then quickly moving into a taut, youthful and grippy wine releasing firm tannins and a backbone of acidity then back to fruit. Violets and plums, boysenberry and blackcurrant, smoky wood and baking spices and a leesy reductive seam. Delicious and new, taut and needing time to settle and develop. Best drinking from 2029 through 2039.

Perfumed and elegant, this wine feels ethereal. Delicate violet aromas float over blackberry and red cherry, with earthy notes, wet stone, and hints of toasted vanilla, cinnamon, fresh bread, and dried meats. The palate is polished yet broad, with a beautifully balanced structure, fine chalky tannins, and a mineral-rich layer. Floral notes lift off the palate, revealing an evolving halo of flavours. Sophisticated and refined, this wine is endlessly rewarding.

About this Wine

Shiraz

Bold and full-bodied, Shiraz delivers rich dark fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, layered with black pepper, clove, and subtle smoke. Firm tannins and a velvety texture give it real structure, often rounded out by notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing. A versatile pairing partner for grilled meats and hearty dishes, it's one of Australia's most planted red varieties
