Voilé Reserve, Syrah 2017
New Zealand, Waiheke Island
Syrah, Viognier
Description
The Voile is a deeply textural wine, melding aromatic baking spices with rose petal, dried herbs, and black pepper to compliment its red berry base. Maturation in tight-grained French oak barriques adds a torrefied note, bringing out the Voilé’s darker side. With juicy, firm tannins, a natural freshness, and a complex finish, this Syrah-Viognier blend is an approachable wine in its youth, and will evolve and gain further elegance with time spent in bottle.
