Pure, ripe and varietal with distinctive floral and mineral scents, black cherry and dark raspberry. These ideas are mirrored on the palate with surrounded by a firm textue of fruit then some wood tannins, youthful acid topline and complexity from baking spices and lees and earthy mineral qualities. Delicious, fresh, very new still and will continue to age and develop if you can be patient. Lengthy complex finish with best drinking from late 2024 through 2030+.

It’s brooding and engaging on the nose showing dark fruit richness, violet, tar, game and warm spice aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that’s plump and flavoursome. The wine offers awesome fruit purity with rich savoury nuances, flowing seamlessly to a firm sturdy finish. Certified organic. At its best: 2024 to 2036.

Syrah has, very much, been a part of the Fromm arsenal since it was planted in 1992. Fromm Vineyard Syrah is grown solely at own ‘Home Vineyard’ in the Wairau Valley with a large proportion of the wine made up of fruit from our oldest (26-year-old) vines. It is a genuine expression of high sunlight, cool climate Syrah – giving us ripeness with tasty acidity and checked alcohol.
