Select Vineyards Chalk Ridge Syrah 2018 750ml

This wine is entirely from our Chalk Ridge block, just to the south of Havelock North. It is a steep, north facing amphitheatre that is strewn with fossilised limestone. We harvested two different parts of the vineyard on 24th March 2018. A small amount of Viognier is included as whole cluster fruit in one of the ferments (overall 1.27%). The fruit was in fabulous condition in 2018 and we think that this may be one of the best ever wines to come off this very special block. Post ferment and MLF the wines went off to French oak (27% new). Final assemblage occurred in May 2019 and the wine was bottled on 12th June 2019.
