Syrah has been one of the Ham family’s show-off wines pretty much ever since they set up shop in the iron-rich, red gravels of the Bridge Pa Triangle, just a skip and a hop from Hastings city. The Barnstormer has a list of medals and trophies that should justify it being a bit of a snob, however it’s one of the most delicious and approachable styles out there. Perfumed with soft pepper and florals and chock full of cocoa-dusted, dark fruit and a smorgasbord of spice, it’s an elegant yet ultimately sippable syrah.
