WINE DESCRIPTION
This Cable Bay Reserve is crafted from Syrah vines grown on a single vineyard in their estate owned Waiheke Island site.
The Reserve quality wines are only made in the best vintages. The grapes were hand-picked and transferred into open top fermenters with a portion of whole bunch. After fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed off, with only the free run
wine being retained. This was transferred to a neutral French oak puncheon and barrel to mature for 17 months before bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Cable Bay Reserve Syrah reveals a deep purple and intense aromas of blackberries, dark plum, and violets.On the palate, it offers a rich and full-bodied experience with flavors of ripe black fruits, hints of spice, and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture. The finish is long, leaving an impression of dark fruit, floral notes and subtle peppery spice.
