"Offering excellent fruit purity with stylish complexity, the perfumed bouquet showcases Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, olive, game, and fine oak aromas. The concentrated palate displays a fine flow and silky texture, well supported by beautifully melded tannins, finishing impressively long and refined. At its best: 2027 to 2036" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2026

"Medium deep crimson. Dried roses, roasted capsicum, blackberry, hint wax polish, sous bois aromas. Pure blackberry pastille, strawberry, dried roses, marzipan flavours, fine slinky textures and underlying sage notes. A chalky bittersweet finish with chinotto notes. Unusual tension, complexity and character. At the exquisite cusp of ripeness. High imaginative winemaking" Andrew Caillard, Master of Wine

Located on the southern banks of the Ngaruroro River in the famed Gimblett Gravels sub-region. Mature Syrah vines are planted on young, deep alluvial gravels that are free draining and encourage low yields and concentrated flavour. A sub-region that has naturally low rainfall and high sunshine hours producing exceptional cool-climate Syrah.
