Syrah/Shiraz

A juicy and luscious black-fruited Syrah with floral, herb and peppery notes on a fresh, supple palate. Made with 100% Te Awanga grown fruit. Desirable in its youth but with enough structure that cellaring will also be beneficial.

Hawke’s Bay has become renowned as one of the top regions for Syrah, with flavours and a style unique to its terroir. This wine is no exception, with 100% Te Awanga grown fruit. The wine is highly aromatic with notes of purple berry and anise, supported by fine tannins concentrated berry and black pepper flavours. Drink now or cellar until 2025.

Deep crimson, Bullnose ’16 weaves star anise, violets, black cherry and allspice across a core of ripe berry fruit and luxurious, velvet tannins. From Te Mata Estate’s 120th vintage, this is an enchanting, signature Bullnose. Expressive, darkly aromatic, and replete with fresh raspberry, boysenberry, and espresso, all leading to a finely textured finish. Bullnose ’16 is closed with a natural cork, allowing continued evolution in bottle for eight years from harvest.
