"The refined 2018 vintage (5*) was grown in the Bridge Pa Triangle and in the Dartmoor Valley, hand-picked, and matured for 18 months in French oak barriques (partly new). Full-coloured, it is mouthfilling, fresh and supple, with strong plum and spice flavours, fresh acidity, and a finely poised finish. A very elegant style, it has obvious cellaring potential; best drinking 2025+" Michael Cooper, Buyers Guide Edition 2021

"Deep red colour with a good purple tint and a fragrant blackberry, dried herb and gently chocolaty bouquet. The wine is full-bodied and well-endowed with fine, supple but gently drying tannins. Very attractive aroma and flavour, with a charming fruit-sweet core. Long finish; beautiful texture. It's highly attractive now and should take some age very well. 2021 -2030" Huon Hooke, Real Review, May 2021

"Gently aromatic syrah with roasted chestnut, floral, violet, sweet herbs, raspberry, plum and spicy oak flavours. A supple, elegant wine with appealing sweet fruit and a silken texture. Should develop well with bottle age. 2020-2030" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2020

"Deep, ruby-black core with a purple hue and some transparency, lighter ruby-red on the rim, youthful. The nose is elegantly complex, aromas of blackberries, balsamic strawberries underlying plums have an elegant core, unfolding oak spices of vanilla, cinnamon, along with cigar and a hint of game. Medium-full bodied, exuberant fruit nuances of plums, blackberries, red berries entwined with dark herbs, followed by vanilla, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg spices, along with smoky cigar aromatics. The palate has a pure brightness and persistence; poised and fragranced fruit carry dark herbs and oak spices in fine proportions. Lacy acidity integrated with supple, fine-grained tannin, lightly framed the wine with an elegant structure, lend a lifting, lasting finish. This is an elegantly fragranced Syrah with exuberant fruit, oak spice details and a supple fine-grained palate. Match with lamb and venison loins over the next 6+ years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jan 2021

"MS Syrah clone fruit from free-draining sites in Bridge Pa and Dartmoor Valley, hand-picked and hand-sorted. Destemmed and then whole berries went to open fermenters 'with some foot stomping'. Aged 18 months in a mix of new and used French barriques. TA 6.2 g/l. Some black pepper evident on the nose and really aromatic interest with gentle texture. Very far from a 20th-century paradigm of exaggeration. Savoury and recognisably Syrah. Impressive persistence and not a trace of oak or obvious alcohol. When to drink 2020 – 2026" Jancis Robinson, Sep 2020

An elegant Syrah which combines both exotic and red fruits supported by a backbone of fine tannins. Pure fruited and fragrant, with blueberry and cardamon spice. This Syrah has lingering length and persistence of flavour, a hallmark of this variety. Beautifully fragrant and elegant, this Syrah exhibits stunning fruit purity combined with layers of complexity, silky texture and a backbone of fine tannins allowing the wine to age for 5-7 years and beyond.

AWARDED 5 STARS: Michael Cooper, Buyer's Guide Edition 2022

AWARDED 96/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021

"The refined, youthful 2019 vintage (5*) was hand-picked in the Bridge Pa Triangle and at Roys Hill, and matured for 16 months in French oak barriques (partly new). Full-coloured, it is a very age-worthy red, fresh, flowing and supple, with concentrated, vigorous, plum/spice flavours, oak complexity, and a seductively smooth texture" Michael Cooper, Buyer's Guide Edition 2022

"Dense, elegant syrah that is delightfully supple with dark berry, violet, black pepper, anise and spicy oak flavours. Delicious wine that can be appreciated now but should develop well with bottle age. A very impressive wine from an excellent vintage" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021

A brooding black fruited Syrah which is well structured with alcohol, tannin and acidity. Dark spicy fruits are well supported with a hint of pure floral fragrance. Crafted to age well, complexity, concentration of pure ripe fruit and subtle sweet oak blend together to ensure this. This Syrah has lingering length and persistence of flavour, a hallmark of this variety.

1 x Radburnd Hawke's Bay Syrah 2020

A supple, richly textured Syrah which has a base of black fruited berries and sweet fruit fragrance. Ripe Syrah is plush and mouthfilling and the subtle fine grained French oak provides underlying poise and aids structural integrity to this fine wine. A combination of purity of fruit and restrained elegance which will unfold beautifully with age.

Food Pairing: roast lamb, mushroom risotto, venison, and friends.
