Personalised Te Mata Estate Vineyards Syrah 2024 13% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Radiant in brilliant magenta, the Estate Syrah ’24 immediately captivates with its depth and intensity.

Aroma
Aromas of ripe red and dark fruits unfold—plum, morello cherry, blueberry, and a hint of black pepper—layered with warm notes of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Palate
A delicate floral lift of perfumed violets, intertwined with French vanilla and a whisper of espresso, brings balance and finesse. It embodies the textural elegance and expressive character of Hawke’s Bay—structured, alluring, and unmistakably of its place. Estate Syrah ’24 is a compelling statement, both enchanting and refined.

Region notes
Estate Syrah ’24 was harvested between 25 March and 9 April 2024 from Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards in Hawke’s Bay’s Dartmoor, Bridge Pā Triangle and Gimblett Gravels sub-regions.

Food matching
Estate Syrah is a wonderful accompaniment to all red meats, savoury and lightly spiced dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, as well as soft cheeses.

Cellaring potential
Estate Syrah ’24 will continue to evolve in bottle for four years from harvest.

Vinification
The individual parcels of syrah from each plot were destemmed for fermentation and remained on skins for extended maceration before pressing. It was then run off to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for 12 months’ maturation, during which time it was regularly topped and racked. The wine received a traditional egg white fining before bottling.
