WAIRAU RIVER ROSE

Syrah is fast becoming the star of the Hawke’s Bay wine scene and this Church Road Syrah has been absolutely nailing it over the last few years as one of the top Syrahs around under $20.

You might remember the 2015 vintage took out the “Best Red Wine Buy of the Year” in Michael Cooper’s Wine Buyers Guide for 2017 – other Syrah producers in the region must be seriously scratching their heads wondering how they do it at such a keen price! The ’16 made an appearance in Cuisine magazine’s 2018 Syrah tasting, scored 4 Stars & Best Buy. The 2017 made the shortlist again for Michael Cooper’s Best Red Wine Buy of the Year for 2019.

A silky, supple red with a touch of spice that will leave you grabbing a second glass in a flash! This is the style of red to be pairing with cuts of good old Kiwi lamb and game meats like duck and venison.

The Red Knot family of wines is designed for immediate enjoyment, full of ripe, fruit driven flavours. The Red Knot Shiraz is vibrant and highly aromatic, displaying ripe berry flavours subtly framed with American and French oak. The style is bright, fragrant and varietal with the emphasis on fruit richness and a subtle oak influence, giving the wine lover a delicious wine experience at an affordable price.

It’s brimming with juicy black and red berry fruit flavors with a hint of warm spice and vanilla.
