Why I chose it:
- Support Hawke’s Bay wine in a difficult period
- 2021 is a top vintage
- Te Mata is one of the region’s top and most respected wine producers
- It tastes great now but should be even better in a few years.
- Syrah is one of NZ’s best kept wine secrets
What does it taste like?
- An interesting mix of floral (violet), fruit (dark-fleshed plum, dark cherry) and savoury (dried herbs, dark chocolate and vanilla). Concentrated and complex wine with moderate cellaring prospects.
Why it’s a bargain:
- Syrah is NZ’s most expensive varietal wine
Where can you buy it?
- Fine Wine Delivery Co, Auckland $29.99. Just released. New World (Clubcard only) $25.99
Food match?
- Barbecued lamb chops
Will it keep?
- Yes, for 6-7 years, maybe longer (with careful storage)
Wine Tip – Aerate big reds
- Use big glasses or slosh wine into a decanter or jug 30 mins before serving
