Te Mata Estate

Bullnose Hawkes Bay Syrah 2018

Deep ruby with lighter rim and lovely floral and spiced nose.
Tannins are silky smooth and well integrated.
Dark fruits on palate with balance of alcohol and acidity, AbV at 13% much lower than typical Oz Shiraz @14.5%
At 8 years this is likely at its optimal drinking age
Excellent Syrah from NZ.

A yearly buy for me, this tastes and performs at premier cru+ level burgundy for a fraction of the price. Highly recommend. If I remember correctly they took vines from Le Montrachet (or another famous Burgundy vineyard) and re-planted in New Zealand. — 12 days ago
