94 Points Cameron Douglas MS
In stock
This exceptional Syrah just won Best Red in the Metro Magazine tasting! A classy Syrah from the Hawkes Bay family vineyard of ex-Craggy winemaker, Rod Easthope. These vines are tended by the "vested hands" of Rod and his wife Emma to produce a Syrah of uncompromising boutique quality. With a lovely depth of bright, gently savoury fruit flavours, the Easthope Syrah overdelivers in appeal and potential at this very ordinary price. Try this!
$39.99 in mixed 6+ or $44.99 per bottle

Its Origins

"After leaving Craggy Range, talented winemaker Rod Easthope embarked on a solo career that has seen him make wines for a UK-based online retailer as well as establish his own local label with his wife Emma." John Saker, Food and Wine on stuff.co.nz

What The Critics Say

Best Wine and Top 10 in Metro Magazine
94/100 Cameron Douglas MS

"A core of dark purple and ruby hues lead to a bouquet of fresh and baked raspberry, dark plums, fragrant spices and mild toasty barrel qualities with a whisper of wood smoke. Delicious on the palate with a core of dark red fruit flavours and fine savoury spice qualities. Violets and black currant, toasty barrel spices of clove and vanilla all leading to a long and conmplex finish. A wine bext enjoyed from late 2023 through 2030+ if stored well."

94/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Elegant, high energy syrah with bramble, raspberry, plum, anise/spice and dried herb flavours. Youthful wine that, while approachable, will develop well with bottle age. 29 MAY 2023." Drink 2023 - 2030
