Reserve Syrah 2013 750ml

Library Release

Our Reserve Syrah is made from fruit 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 have used only the ripest fruit from the top of the hill to craft our Reserve Syrah. A tiny amount of Viognier (1%) from the same block was co-fermented with the Syrah to add fragrance and complexity and to help fix the colour. Vintage 2013 was a superb season and the vineyard was in excellent condition at harvest. The wine spent around 12 months in French oak (60% new) before assemblage and bottling.
