The Reserve wines are only made in the very best of vintages, and in limited quantities. These Syrah grapes were hand-picked in late March 2019, and immediately transferred into open top fermenters in our winery. The ferment was predominantly whole berry, with a portion of whole bunch in there too. We fermented some with wild yeast, and the rest with carefully selected strains.

From grapes grown on naturally low yielding, 22 year old vines, this wine is an elegant expression of Waiheke Syrah. Complemented by fresh aromas of juicy blackcurrant, toasted peppercorn, black cherry and sage, the palate is both seamlessly intense and delicate, with supple tannins and beautiful texture. Waiheke Syrah at its most refined and beautiful, this is a wine with real presence.
