“Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?”

This was the vintage of irony; truly spectacular fruit harvested under the cloud of the global pandemic.

Bilancia Syrah was sourced from two vineyards at Roys Hill, Hawke’s Bay; la collina and Trelinnoe.

From both vineyards perfect Syrah fruit was harvested separately and crushed to open top vessels for fermentation. The wines were pressed at dryness and run to either older French oak barriques or stainless steel tanks. The final wine is a blend of approximately 10% from la collina and 90% from Trelinnoe vineyard.

Sweet, ripe berry fruits and plums, fresh and juicy fruit coupled with Hawke’s Bay spice, balanced acidity and ripe, gentle tannins. A great wine for opening on release, this amazing Syrah is a vibrant, youthful wine and can be enjoyed immediately but it will also continue to develop over the next six to eight years.
