Judges Comments:

Award-winning Trinity Hill Winery in Hawkes Bay has produced this sophisticated oak-aged Syrah from the exceptional 2021 vintage. It is richly fruited with blueberry, blackberry, dark cherry and plum; complemented by white florals, savoury leather, black pepper and vanilla spice. It is elegant and extremely memorable!

Pairing Recommendation:

Serve with beef short ribs or savoury mushroom pasta.
