Overview:
Cable Bay Vineyards Syrah 2021 is a powerful yet refined expression of Waiheke Island’s unique volcanic terroir. Grown on steep, sun-drenched slopes overlooking Rangitoto, this Syrah captures both intensity and elegance, shaped by mineral-rich soils and meticulous viticulture. Hand-picked and crafted with care, it delivers a seamless balance of richness, concentration, and floral finesse, embodying the character of the 2021 vintage.
Tasting Notes:
Deep purple-ruby hues introduce aromas of crushed blackcurrant, rosemary flower, violet, smoky clove, and supple leather. The palate is plush and velvety, layered with dark cherry, plum, and cocoa bean flavours that linger with vibrancy and poise. Both powerful and delicate, this Syrah reveals finesse within its concentration. Pair with slow-roasted lamb, seared venison, or a rich mushroom and lentil cassoulet for a truly elevated experience.
