This limited edition organic Syrah is from the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, from high-density, certified organic vineyards. Every attention is lavished upon our organic vines which are hand tended, picked and sorted. Once fruit was gently de-stemmed, it was added to open top fermenters by gravity, cold soaked to allow the early development of colour and flavour prior to fermentation, delicate hand plunging of the ferments and 14 days maceration to maximise flavour. After maceration, wine was gently pressed with free run wine aged in French oak 300L barrels for 12 months. This organic wine then benefited from 24 months maturing in the Giesen cellar allowing the development of complexity and a silken palate.

An intriguing nose of violet florals, blackberries and pepper with spicy oak notes.

Wonderfully silken on the palate, dark plums, black berry fruits, a slight hint of dark olive and clove, all held together with immaculately polished tannins. Such a long finish. You can enjoy know or cellar through to 2030+. Enjoy with game or beef dishes and hard cheese. Recommended serving temperature 17 - 18c.
