Te Awanga Wildsong Syrah 2021 750ml

Great value wine from a sadly defunct winery. The wine is medium-bodied and has plenty of plummy, peppery notes – enough to make it approachable both with food and on its own. It's probably a 3.5-star wine on its own, but at this price it's a bargain and worth the extra half a point.

This is a very light and simple Syrah. Absolutely no complexity or depth and certainly feels like it never saw the inside of a wooden barrel. Fermented in stainless steel? So disappointing.

Nice label tho'!

I recently opened a bottle of Te Awanga Wildsong Syrah 2021. It was about what I expected, with red berries predominant. I was surprised about how good the colour for a 5 year old syrah. I have been drinking Hawkes Bay syrah for a long time. I was not disappointed by this bottle.

Pleasant enough wine but not a typical Syrah/ Shiraz. To me it tasted like a good pinot noir. Unfortunately, I don't like pinot noir.

Very pleasant N Z Syrah and well worth the price.
