Eventide 2018 750ml

This Syrah has a modest addition of petit syrah and tannat. Rich, smooth-textured red with dark berry, plum dried herb, spice anise and vanilla flavours.  An appealing and accessible wine with obvious cellaring potential.

At Eventide, when the golden sun dips into cool shadows, a magnificent expose of dancing colour paints the sky, the rolling hills and shimmering sea.

Waiheke Island, or the “Island of Syrah”, produces wines renowned for their depth of character and smooth, rounded taste. By adding petit-verdot and tannat, our team have created a truly original Syrah with silky tannins and subtle complexity with notes of ripe black fruit and sweet vanilla spice.

Deep, ruby-red with bright transparency, slightly lighter edged. The nose is fresh, gently filling the glass with aromas of red berries, boysenberries, entwined with vanilla, spices and meaty notes underlay. Medium-full bodied, the palate is elegantly presented, succulent red berries, boysenberries are fresh, enriched by subtle earth, meaty notes, along with an amalgam of spices, black pepper and vanilla. The crunchy acidity provides freshness and vitality, integrated with oak elements, lighten up the fine-grained, silky tannin extraction.
