Why I chose it: 

- Support Hawke’s Bay wine in a difficult period

- 2021 is a top vintage

- Te Mata is one of the region’s top and most respected wine producers

- It tastes great now but should be even better in a few years.

- Syrah is one of NZ’s best kept wine secrets

What does it taste like? 

- An interesting mix of floral (violet), fruit (dark-fleshed plum, dark cherry) and savoury (dried herbs, dark chocolate and vanilla). Concentrated and complex wine with moderate cellaring prospects.

Why it’s a bargain: 

- Syrah is NZ’s most expensive varietal wine

Where can you buy it?

- Fine Wine Delivery Co, Auckland $29.99. Just released. New World (Clubcard only) $25.99

Food match? 

- Barbecued lamb chops

Will it keep? 

- Yes, for 6-7 years, maybe longer (with careful storage)

Wine Tip – Aerate big reds 

- Use big glasses or slosh wine into a decanter or jug 30 mins before serving
