Winemaker Notes
Our Classic range of wines seeks to capture the essence of New Zealand’s winemaking regions. Our Syrah comes from Hawke’s Bay, the premier wine region for this variety. Our winemaking approach with this range is to preserve the unique beauty of the wines through conservative winemaking. Harvested off the beautiful Chalk Ridge Vineyard, the 2020 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was exceptional for Syrah. Early season rainfall set up the vineyard for ripening fruit in April.

Tasting Notes
The 2020 Cooper’s Creek Hawke’s Bay Classic Syrah features a deep red colour with a vibrant purple hue. Fruit characters reminiscent of blackberry, cherry and plum. Lifted secondary aromas include floral notes such as Jasmin and spice notes of cinnamon and vanilla from both the fruit and the oak barrels. Some savoury umami notes.
Cellaring
At it's best now to 2029.
Food Matching
Ideal food matches with Moroccan and middle eastern cuisine. Syrah also works very well with red game meats.
Awards
9points Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows dark berry, thyme, game and roasted nut aromas, followed by a succulent palate offering plump mouthfeel combined with fine texture and polished tannins, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2029. Dec 2023.’
