Māwhitipana
Ridge Syrah 2021 750ml

Māwhitipana Ridge Syrah | 2021 Vintage

The 2021 Māwhitipana Ridge Syrah had a run as dreamy as its origins, a single vineyard in a sunny, hidden valley with a glimpse of the sea. Handcrafted by two families that live on the land as kaitiaki (guardians), this season was long, calm and dry. A hot summer with little rain produced low yields with highly concentrated grapes. The settled harvest period allowed ideal picking conditions. A vibrant Syrah with opulent blackcurrant and boysenberry notes on the nose, fused in harmony with the savouriness of cracked black pepper. Ripe berry fruit and spices flooding the palate, with fine tannins on the finish. A limited vintage with only 99 cases produced.
