Screwcap

The first vines were planted at Stonyridge on Waiheke Island in 1982, with the inaugural vintage made by founder Stephen White in 1985. Known more for its Bordeaux blends (particularly its acclaimed Larose), the winery’s Estate-tier wines have expanded to include Rhône varieties and blends. This 100% Syrah, made with grapes grown on high-altitude hillside slopes, is styled as a fruit-forward, earlier drinking wine, with minimal oak influence. Christine Marsiglio MW: A beguiling nose of incense and exotic spices. Barbecue smoke and black pepper on the palate, with smooth tannins and supporting acidity. Freddy Bulmer: Lovely clarity and purity of fruit on the nose. The palate is juicy and vibrant, driven by blackcurrant and redcurrant flavours with bright, fresh acidity and a hint of minerality. An elegant wine. Roger Jones: There is quite an exotic, Turkish feel to this, with dark fruit, figs and sultanas. It’s a complex, layered wine with amazing lingering flavours.
