A Hawke’s Bay Syrah – something that the region is developing a growing reputation for. Te Mata use fruit from their own vineyards exclusively even for this entry-level tier of wines. Parcels of destemmed fruit came from three sub-regions – Dartmoor, Bridge Pā Triangle and Gimblett Gravels; harvested between 1 and 10 April 2025. A bright crimson-purple colour in the glass. Varietally-pure scents of boysenberry, black plum, bramble with baking spices, white pepper and violets florals adding to the complex, layered bouquet. Medium-bodied and well-structured, in a fruit-forward and ready to drink style. Supple tannin, clean acidity, velvet texture and a touch of barrel spice merge through the palate, flowing to a rich finish with more spice and a touch of chocolate. 90pts
