From grapes grown on naturally low yielding, 22 year old vines, this wine is an elegant expression of Waiheke Syrah. Complemented by fresh aromas of juicy blackcurrant, toasted peppercorn, black cherry and sage, the palate is both seamlessly intense and delicate, with supple tannins and beautiful texture. Waiheke Syrah at its most refined and beautiful, this is a wine with real presence.
