Amoise Syrah 2021
Regular price $64.00
This medium bodied yet easy drinking syrah was picked from the immaculately tended vines at the Two Terraces Vineyard in the Mangatahi Terraces, Hawke’s Bay. Floral with crunchy red fruit and soft in the mouth with low alcohol and good acidity. This was fermented with 30% whole bunches and the subsequent wine aged in a Tinaja (a Spanish clay amphora ) over winter. This has allowed a soft and supple expression of Syrah, a departure from my old oak barrels, but a welcome one. This has dark fruit character with hints of violets, white pepper, bramble, blackberry and logan berries. It can be served lightly chilled and is ideal with grilled BBQ meals. - Amy Farnsworth, wine maker
