Powerful, distinctive, youthful. Raw yet intriguing.

2016 Clearview Cape Kidnappers Syrah - LAST BOTTLES

Hawke's Bay

New Zealand

Displaying vibrant violet and aniseed spice with an underlying complexity from naturally occurring tannin. An extended ripening period produced great depth of color and concentrated flavor. Made to be approachable in its youth but with enough structure that cellaring will also be beneficial.

Winemaker's notes

Fermented with natural yeast and 20% whole bunches, this wine-underwent regular hand plunging to extract tannin and color. After ex-tended post ferment maceration, the wine was then matured in 10% new French oak and received minimal interventions. The wine was carefully racked from barrel to tank only once just before bottling.
