Coopers Creek Hawkes Bay Syrah 2020

Winemaking
Made from fruit grown in Hawke’s Bay’s warm inland sites, this Syrah reflects the region’s ability to produce elegant, spice-laced reds. The 2020 vintage was fermented in stainless steel and matured in oak barrels, combining fruit purity with soft savoury detail.

Bouquet
Bright aromas of dark plum, blackberry, and crushed black pepper. Notes of violets, dried herbs, and a touch of vanilla complete the lifted, aromatic profile.

Palate
Medium-bodied with silky tannins and juicy dark fruit. Subtle oak, liquorice, and a hint of smoked spice carry through to a clean, dry finish with refreshing acidity.

Food Pairing
A great match for lamb skewers, pepper-crusted steak, roasted eggplant, or charred sausages. An easy-going Syrah that suits both casual and bold fare.

Cellaring
Enjoy now through 2026 for its fresh, youthful vibrancy. A short decant will open up the aromatics beautifully.

Interesting Fact
While better known for Merlot and Chardonnay, Hawke’s Bay Syrah is gaining global recognition for its perfume, precision, and age-worthy potential—this wine is a delicious introduction to the style.
