Goldie Estate Waiheke Island Syrah 2016 $44

Heinrich Storm not only has the most fierce name in all of New Zealand winemaking, he’s also young, bouncy and ferociously talented on the syrah front. Four years on since vintage and this delicious thing is beginning to move on from the trot and break into a canter meaning it’s coming into the ‘great drinking’ zone with some solid kicks in the stirrups.  Flaunting black pepper, violets, blueberries and smoke notes, it’s an elegant, statuesque, yet subtle style that sings with pork and sage saltimbocca.
