Te Mata Estate Bullnose Syrah 2021

Magnificent deep magenta, Bullnose ’21 entices with floral fragrance of lavender, violets and a dusting of cardamon and cinnamon developing on the palate into black cherry syrup, boysenberry and Turkish delight. Grace notes of char, truffle and pink peppercorns appear in layer upon layer of velvet tannins that run from front to back in the wine - extending the mid-palate presence into a long, sustained finish of saturated and spiced red berries. Bullnose ’21 is endlessly enchanting from every angle.

Te Mata Estate owned vineyards in Hawkes Bay from the folloiwng sub regions - Gimblett Gravels, Bridge Pa Triangle, Dartmoor Valley and Havelock Hills.

Separate parcels of fully ripened syrah grapes were hand harvested from Te Mata Estate’s Bullnose, Isosceles and Hotspur Vineyards on 25 and 26 March 2021.

Bullnose ’21 is closed with a Diam cork, allowing continued evolution in bottle for 15 years from harvest.
