Esk Valley Artisanal Collection Syrah 2020

This red is all about ripe, juicy fruit. Think raspberries and blackberries, but with a savoury side of pepper and subtle spice. It's crafted entirely from Syrah grapes, sourced from the sunny Hawkes Bay region in New Zealand. The winemakers employed hands-on techniques, including some whole-bunch fermentation, to add complexity. Expect a velvety texture, balanced by bright acidity, and lingering spice notes on the finish. It's a crowd-pleasing expression of Hawkes Bay Syrah - generous, approachable, and undeniably delicious.

A generous red with peppery spice - perfect for grilled lamb chops, roasted root vegetables, or a hearty venison stew.
