"Gimblett Gravels" SV Hawkes Bay Syrah 2013
A rich and full-bodied wine full of dark fruit flavours with lashings of black pepper and a long savoury finish.
|
This is our first SV Syrah from our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard. Vintage 2013 was spectacular in Hawkes Bay and this was the perfect springboard to launch the wine. These are young vines so we were only able to produce a very small amount. A dash of Red Metals Malbec has been added to give the wine an extra dimension. The wine spent around a year in barrel and the final assemblage contains about 25% new oak. The wine was bottled on 3rd October 2013..
Analysis
Tasting Notes
Cellaring
Already approachable, but we expect this wine to cellar for a number of years.
Food Matches
The soft tannins, ripe fruit flavours, black pepper and spice make this wine a great accompaniment to many meat dishes such as lamb, venison, beef and game. The bolder and more complex style means that it will stand up to richer flavours and accompaniments.
