Esk Valley Artisanal Hawke's Bay Syrah 2021
Description
- French oak
- Raspberries
- Wood spice
- Subtle acidity
The wine is medium to deep red, with aromas that showcase the red fruit elements of Hawkes Bay Syrah, including raspberries with undertones of wood spice and pepper. In the mouth the wine is soft and generous with flavours like the nose of red berries and jam, with an underlying acidity providing elegance and length. Delicious as a young wine it will also reward cellaring.
The grapes for this wine were grown in two contrasting Hawkes Bay sites. The free draining stony gravels of Gimblett Road provide the wine with dark fruit notes and a tannic frame while the limestone soils of the Heipipi Vineyard in Bay View adds perfume and complexity. Both these free draining vineyard sites are planted with the Limmer Heritage clone and are aged from 12 to 25 years.

Disappointed in the wine as has a certain lack of subtle tastes and structure for this price point. Shame as was really looking forward to it. Lesson : I should really have bought a single bottle to see if it met my taste palate
