Varietal:100% Syrah
Region:Hawke's Bay
Volume:750ml
Tasting Note:
The 2020 ‘Back Block’ Syrah is showcasing dark berries, extractive and fleshy with savoury tannins and pepper notes. The mid palate is generous in fruit and supported by the well-integrated and seamless oak. Due to the excellent vintage in Hawkes Bay, the Syrah grapes were left on the vine until the 11th April, hence the ripe flavours and low acidity. The 2020 ‘Back Block’ Syrah is very approachable, but equally will continue to develop in the bottle. This 2020 ‘Back Block’ Syrah - another addition to the legacy.
Cellaring:
Drinking now and will age well for another 6-7 years.
Food Pairing:
An ideal pairing with a slow cooked rack of lamb with a thyme rub & wine jus.
