TeMataEstateSyrah,Hawke’sBay2022

The younger sibling of the great Bullnose Syrah, this has a deeply attractive, fragrant perfume of black cherry, white and black pepper, dark flowers and raspberry. The palate is juicy, with a fine chalky grip and a pleasing astringency, red fruit highlights, creamy black fruit pastilles and a lightly spicy finish. Very fine, real finesse and an Old-World savoury quality.
