Hãhã Hawke's Bay Syrah 2022

Our silky smooth Syrah shows juicy blackcurrant and blueberry notes. Fresh and delicious with lovely savoury notes and a hint of pepper and spice, this wine is sure to be a firm favourite.

COLOUR: Vibrant red with violet hues

AROMA: Fruit aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry and cranberry with savoury characters and oak complexity.

PALATE: The palate is mid-weight and retains a fresh crunchy acidity. Texturally, the tannins are very fine and the mouthfeel is full.

The fruit was sourced from a tightly-centred group of vineyards in the Bridge Pa sub-region of Hawke’s Bay.

The grapes were harvested into small bins to ensure we had whole berries for fermentation. The fruit was cold soaked in open top fermenters for a brief period before the fermentation process kicked off with natural yeasts from the vineyard and winery. A small percentage of viognier grapes (4%) were added to the ferment to enhance the fruit flavours. Post fermentation the wine was pressed to oak to undergo malolactic fermentation. It was then assembled, filtered and bottled.
