Description
Stonecroft has the oldest Syrah vines in New Zealand. These vines were rescued by the founder of Stoncroft, Dr. Alan Limmer, from the Te Kauwhata Research station and planted at Stonecroft in 1984. For the Undressed Syrah this year, we set used a single parcel of fruit from our Mere Road vineyard and did not add any sulphur at bottling. The wine has rich boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry flavours. It has a smooth finish, and soft tannins. Suitable for vegans and preservative free.
