A genuine classic that all Shiraz lovers should have on their trusty go-to list! Schubert Syrah comes from the cool Martinborough region in New Zealand, offering clean and precise flavours and aromas. A great blend of ripe dark fruit, herbs and forest floor aromas with layers of cinnamon, spice, char and a tinge of floral. Ripe blackberry and wild raspberry flavours carry through with chocolate, cracked black pepper and thyme. Let the wine sit for a little longer and it opens up more with black cherry, a bit of open fire, and a bit more spice. Firm tannins with a stunningly long and gamey finish. Fantastic bottle with a lentil, mushroom and aubergine stew packed with fragrant herbs or grilled Toulouse sausages! But if you’re a patient person, you will reap a further reward from cellaring a few bottles for the future. Limited production (only 163 cases).
