de la terre Reserve Hawke’s Bay Syrah 2019 $39.99
Hold the phone, lock the gates and pull on your pepper pants because this new release from the legendary winemaking talents of Tony Prichard is extraordinarily spicy and nicey. Crafted from handpicked fruit grown in the highest elevation syrah vineyard in Hawke’s Bay (160m icyww), it’s quietly matured for 15 months in 50% new French barriques to inject tar, smoke and toasted clove characters. Un-fined and unfiltered, each elegant example is hand bottled, hand labelled and individually hand numbered. Texas pulled pork? Giddy up! Drink now – 2030
