Mcdonald Series

2010 Hawke's Bay Syrah

The Church Road McDonald Series Syrah from the 2010 vintage is an exceptional red wine hailing from the renowned Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. This full-bodied wine showcases bold flavors and a fruit-forward profile, featuring luscious dark fruits such as blackberry and plum intertwined with savory notes of black pepper and smoked meat. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a wonderfully refreshing lift that balances the richness of the fruit. The tannins are firm and structured, lending the wine a sense of depth and age-worthiness, while its dry character enhances the overall elegance. This wine is a true expression of its terroir, highlighting the idyllic microclimate of Hawke's Bay and making it a delightful choice for both casual sipping and more formal occasions.
