Description
For the first time, Napier grapes were used in this blend. Syrah from Napier has the same spicy and perfumy characteristics as Elim Syrah. The wine shows intense red flower perfume, with aniseed spice. Mulberry fruit and savoury leather complement the complex nose. The palate is characteristic of a typical cool climate, with medium body, and fine tannins adding a lively presence. Green peppercorn spice on the palate contributes to a lengthy finish.
Food Pairing
This red-and-white blend with its rich, fruity style is a versatile partner to food, as the structure and spice of the Syrah, as well as the floral nuances of the Viognier, allow it to complement beef, venison and charcuterie, aromatic curries, game birds such as quail and duck, as well as reduced fruit flavours, fruit also latches onto the sweetness in jellies, chutneys and berry sauces.
