Stone Paddock Syrah New Zealand

Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2011 in Import Red, New Zealand Red, Red, Wine

Grapes from the Triangle vineyard on Maraekakaho Road were selected for this
Stone Paddock Syrah due to their vast flavour and aroma profile. Dried herbs,
white pepper and savoury notes are the initial characters present on the nose,
but with the introduction of air the wine opens up to reveal characters of
raspberry, red cherry and five spice. The palate is beautifully balanced with
ripe fruit flavours of plum, wild berries and mineral notes. This Syrah is
finely structured combining both savoury characters and fruit sweetness.
