Syrah 2011 Reviews

'Made by co-fermenting syrah, estate-grown and hand picked in Hawke’s Bay, with a splash of viognier. French oak-aged for 13 months, it is ruby-hued, with a fragrant, peppery bouquet. A lighter style than usual, with fresh plums and spice.'

Michael Cooper, Michael Cooper's Buyers Guide to New Zealand Wines 2013 Featuring: Syrah 2011

'Beautiful aromatics – lavender, allspice and succulent red fruit. If this is what syrah is in New Zealand, start planting folks.'

Bill Zacharkiw, The Montreal Gazette, January 11, 2013 Featuring: Syrah 2011

'Te Mata Estate - Four stars out of four. Grand and prestigious. Especially good within it’s price range.'
