TASTING NOTE: Marlborough is known for its Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, but Marlborough Syrah is something of a rarity. This one has the floral, pepper and dark berry notes of a Northern Rhône Syrah, plus some jammy blackberry aromas. Pour this with a simple beef stew and contemplate whether Syrah might not just become a new Marlborough-favourite for you. (Vintages panel, May 2017) |
