Easthope Family Winegrowers Syrah Hawke's Bay 2021

This is first Syrah from the Easthope home block where Rod and Emma Easthope live. It's a super tasty Syrah with flavours of roasted fresh espresso, floral notes and aniseed. It was made using 100% whole bunch fermentation and aged in puncheons, 20% new with 12 months on lees.
The grapes in this wine were grown on an inland elevated vineyard which is planted in a clone of Syrah known as the Bayley?s clone, selected from the Bayley?s Vineyard in Victoria and brought into New Zealand by Riversun in Gisborne.
