Description

This instantly approachable Syrah impresses with its dense, dark-red colour that leads to a bright and immediately inviting nose, exhibiting the classic cool-climate varietal spice and dark berry fruit aromas. A vibrant and energetic Syrah, complex, balanced and seamless on the palate with fine structure and texture, and finishes with a firm yet gentle tannin presence in the finish. 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Fromm

Staying true to the roots of their European founder Georg Fromm, the winery strives to make wines that reflect the vineyard in which the vines are grown. Founded in 1992, Fromm is quietly developing a reputation for crafting distinctive, single vineyard wines that illustrate their integrity, terroir and character. A committed winery team has helped build this reputation by showing strong attention to detail in the vineyard and through their belief that healthy grapes, free from harmful residues, make better wines. All Fromm wines are certified organic.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Syrah/Shiraz

Both Syrah or Shiraz is the name given to this grape varietal depending on where you are in the world. In France, particularly in the Rhone Valley, it goes by the name of Syrah and it makes the floral reds of Hermitage, Cornas, St Joseph and Cote Rôtie. Whereas in Australia, particularly in the Barossa Valley, it is Shiraz and it produces bolder, spicier and oaky red wines..

 

--------THE REGION--------

Marlborough

New Zealand's answer to Napa Valley, Marlborough accounts for the majority of New Zealand's vines and wine production. Over 75 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sauvignon Blanc and it is where this varietal really shines. The region is also home to New Zealand’s small sparkling-wine industry, using the traditional method to vinify Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
