Maison Noire Syrah Home Block Hawke's Bay 2024

"This deep ruby coloured and complex Syrah, made from the lingering 2024 vintage - dry & hot summer and fall - spent 20 months in French oak, with the equivalent of 30% new. First the intermingling smells of black cherries and Black Doris plums dance with the sizzling spices and caramelized tones. On the palate, tannins are broad and crisp, carrying a burst of blackberries and currants, softened by violets notes. The finish is long and silky, coated with toasted brioche, roasted nuts and brandy like fragrance. A beautiful pairing with the finest cuisine dishes.

Optimum drinking time is 2026 to 2030, with a great extra ageing potential. Optimum serving temperature is room temperature (16-20*C)." Maison Noire
