TWR Syrah SV 5182 2020 puligny-montrachet honeyed and gently amiable --Syrah is a labour of love for us here at Te Whare Ra. There are very few producers in the area (and in fact not many in the South Island) who make this variety so it is a bit left field for Marlborough but our site is warmer than many, which means we have the length of growing season required to ripen it, and our soil type (which has a higher clay content) is well suited too. It requires a lot of careful attention in the vineyard to make it work here
