Description

In just 2-weeks earlier this year we CLEARED 3,000 bottles of this Beautiful 2019 vintage Waiheke Island Obsidian Reserve Syrah… rarely a week goes by without receiving inquiry from previous buyers wanting more. The winery had reserved 300-bottles for Cellar Door sales… they have relented and given it to us. We are offering it to previous Obsidian buyers 1st at a Staggering $39.99 bottle (GOOGLE the winery to see its normal Prestige Pricing) if any remains after that… it will be released to our full customer base. This is Obsidian’s pinnacle Syrah crafted with handpicked fruit off the Estates Older Vines, from the near drought like, perfect 2019 vintage. The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness, the fruit destemmed and fermented in open top tanks with 10% whole bunches complexing the ferment and daily hand plunging. After a period of post fermentation maceration, the wine was transferred to fine French barriques (20% new) and underwent malolactic fermentation. After a few months in barrel it was racked, clarified and returned to barrel to complete aging. No expense spared in the making of this impressive Flagship Obsidian Reserve Syrah. This is an opulent, powerful, Rhone Hermitage like Syrah with a silky elegance about it that will reward cellaring through 2033 if well stored… now 6-years old it is beginning to reveal its exciting potential.

Smells

Vibrant aromas of blackberry, plum and raspberry with hints of baking spice, toasty oak and complex savoury notes.

Tastes

Very Powerful & Silky Smooth… it elegantly transitions the palate unravelling with incredible length. An abundance of bright red and black berries with raspberry pie, nutmeg, savoury spice and subtle pepper complexities adding layers. Cocoa powder like tannins and bright acidity provide a perfect platform for the concentrated palate… and the oak inspired texture adds to its mouth filling charm. Delicious at 6-years… it won’t reach its peak drinking until 2029 through 2033.

We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.

An amazing wine, from an incredible vineyard.

Fruit on the nose is totally evident immediately on the pallete. This is packed with fruit and while there is significant complexity it is still really smooth and wonderful to drink. Very different to Syrah from other areas in NZ. Totally delicious.
