The 2019 Homage displays the complexity, sophistication and refined power that are the hallmarks of the marque. The characteristics of Gimblett Gravels Syrah shine through in a captivating, complex bouquet. Ripe blackberries, black liquorice, Chinese five-spice and crushed minerals are complimented by an exotic perfume of red fruits and florals. Toasty/cedary oak sits discretely in the background.

The wine is intense and concentrated in the mouth with fine-grained tannins providing a powerful, yet silky texture. Balanced acidity and supportive oak ensure the wine remains vibrant, focused, and supple on a palate distinguished by exceptional length of flavour and a lingering spicy finish.

A superb wine of breed and provenance; that speaks of its place and represents the definitive expression of Syrah from New Zealand.

Drink from 2023 to 2038. Decant before serving.
