Jurassic Ridge Syrah Rose 2010

The first edition (2009) was gold medal rated.  The 2010 is absolute bottled terroir – the most frequent remark is ‘Wow – that’s different!’ Despite being made exactly the same as the 2009 in every detail it is uniquely individual and certainly different and probably never to be repeated! Find out why from our wine notes below. Now available ONLY from the cellar door, online shop, email order or a crafty restaurant or two. You will need to be quick…….

A big, boldly coloured, ‘serious’ rose with attitude and intense varietal fruit and spice. The difference is due to something the winemaker cannot control – thank goodness – the weather. The 2010 season was the dryest in Auckland since records started more than 100 years ago. The result was fruit with intense concentration and very thick skins with plentiful tannins.

This wine has an amazing biphasic effect on the palate starting with intense sweet fruit and finishing with those smooth drying tannins – equally at home with smoked ham or tiramasu! A real all-rounder! One taster in the cellar door remarked – ‘Its like having two different wines in your mouth at the same time’! Be quick as this unique wine is selling out fast and may never be repeated….. unless there is an even dryer vintage coming……….
