Rich, deep fruit flavor buy a bit green for my taster. The island is beautiful but not sure about the syrah.

Starts green but lose it quickly. Develops into a full herbal fruit spread kind of flavor.

Very light Syrah. Viognier lifts it out of the glass. White pepper on initial taste. Clean finish.

Best wine they got and I really think the wine is way over rated. There is a true mystique as u drive thru Lost like roads to get here. Here is almost 10% of Waiheke Island as the Spencers own alot of land. The land is beautiful but the moderate temp day and night, strong wind and ok terroir make this as hard place to make good wine. But all Kiwi are in love with this place or mystique
