Matua Single Vineyard Syrah

Trophy. Trophy. Trophy. Trophy. Gold. Gold. Gold. 5 Stars. 5 Stars. 95/100 (that’s also 5 Stars).

If you want to lay your hands on an extremely rare, world class New Zealand red, you’re in the right place. Matua Single Vineyard Syrah 2014 made headlines a few years back when it cleaned up at the prestigious International Wine Challenge in London, one of the world’s most meticulously judged competitions. That very, very impressive list of awards looks a little like this…

This is a finely textured, mouthfilling, smoothly textured Syrah of the highest order. From a great 2014 vintage and now with a number of years under its belt – you’ll find this world class red will comfortably cellar up until around 2023.
