Hidden Label Limited Hawke's Bay Syrah 2020

MAssive Discount - Hidden Label Limited Hawke's Bay Syrah 2020 is a striking example of Hawke's Bay's ability to produce expressive and structured Syrah. This wine is crafted with fruit from a low-yielding single vineyard under organic treatment, showcasing the region's distinctive terroir and meticulous winemaking.

Nose: The bouquet is distinctive and fresh, featuring aromas of baked black currant, dark plum, and vanilla, intertwined with notes of clove, wood smoke, and a subtle hint of boot polish, providing a complex and inviting aromatic profile.

Palate: On the palate, this Syrah is firmly textured, with an abundance of tannins and a vibrant acidity that delivers a robust mouthfeel. Flavours of dark fruits such as black currant and blackberry are complemented by hints of liquorice, red-fleshed plum, and spicy oak. The oak influence adds layers of complexity with touches of cacao powder and vanilla bean.

Finish: The finish is long and persistent, with a fine minerality and a touch of white pepper spice, leaving a lasting impression of both power and elegance. This wine can be enjoyed now but also has the potential to evolve with age, making it suitable for cellaring until 2032.

The Hidden Label Limited Hawke's Bay Syrah 2020 is perfect for pairing with rich meats such as duck, lamb, or venison, and is a great choice for those who appreciate a deeply structured and aromatic Syrah.
