Amphitheatre Syrah 2020

$30.00

Unfortunately, our hugely popular 2020 Syrah has sold out and we didn’t produce a Syrah in 2021. The 2022 vintage is currently being aged in the winery and will be bottled and released early in 2023. There may still be some 2020 to be found in fine wine stores throughout the country. Please ask your local retailer. Blueberries and violets combine with hints of chocolate and cocoa bean to create a syrah with great potential. The palate is elegant, bright and focused with silky tannins, a beautiful mouthfeel and great purity.

Notes

A prolonged Indian summer with cool nights, typical of Marlborough, led to expressive wines with great natural acidity. The season produced pristine fruit with beautifully ripe flavours. Hand harvested from our single cane, high density planted vines, the fruit was fermented in an open top tank with 30% whole bunch clusters. The wine was then lightly pressed into seasoned French oak barrels and aged for 11 months. In pursuit of the highest quality, we have not fined or filtered this wine. A small amount of sulphur was added just prior to bottling.
