Elephant Hill Syrah 2020 750ml
Only
$30.99
"Climatically, a cooler, slower, and late vintage compared to the last three vintages. However, this allowed our Syrah grapes to experience a long and gentle ripening
period on the vine. With multiple picks over three weeks in April, the result is a wine that exhibits the purity of fruit and elegance typical of Elephant Hill.
This is made from grapes from our Gimblett, Te Awanga, and Triangle Vineyards. Whilst keeping 5% as whole clusters, the remainder of the grapes were gently de-stemmed, pressed and aged for 22 months in French oak, 25% new. Thereafter, the wine was kept on lees for another 6 months, then bottled in February.
It has aromas of boysenberry, pepper, subtle liquorice, and floral notes with smooth tannins. The wine is luscious and elegant, a true Elephant Hill Syrah."
