Māwhitipana Estate Syrah | 2020 Vintage

The vintage of a lifetime in story and taste. Handcrafted from a single vineyard in a sunny, hidden valley with a glimpse of the sea, 2020 is considered the vintage of a generation. The growing season had record droughts followed by one of the driest autumns in decades. The 2020 Estate Syrah a standout, and the first for the two families creating a sustainable legacy on the land they share.

Rich and vibrant, with intense flavour and impressive concentration, the 2020 Māwhitipana Estate Syrah is a beguiling mix of the dark fruit aromas of cassis, plum and black cherry, mingled with coffee, vanilla and hints of violets, lifted by spicy notes. A rich, seductive palate, with a dark chocolate and mocha finish. A limited vintage with only 115 cases produced.

Māwhitipana Estate Syrah | 2021 Vintage

The 2021 Māwhitipana Estate Syrah had a run as dreamy as its origins, a single vineyard in a sunny, hidden valley with a glimpse of the sea. Handcrafted by two families that live on the land as kaitiaki (guardians), this season was long, calm and dry. A hot summer with little rain produced low yields with highly concentrated grapes. The settled harvest period allowed ideal picking conditions.

A classic, full bodied Syrah, the 2021 Mawhitipana Estate has vivacious dark berry aromas, and lively hints of pepper and cherry to finish. Enjoy young or come back to it in one to two years to discover the full potential of this wine. A limited vintage with only 148 cases produced.
