Syrah
Its Origins
Squawking Magpie Owner and Director Gavin Yortt planted the main Woodland’s vineyard in 1995, with further holdings in 2002 extending the focus on Hawkes Bay classic grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. They are members of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand and maintain a strong focus on cellaring wines and a quality-driven (rather than brand-driven) market strategy, which begins with rigorous vineyard management. Though not shouting from every shelf, on quality-for-value Squawking Magpie wines are often among the best Hawkes Bay has to offer.
What The Critics Say
96/100 Andrew Caillard MW
"Medium deep crimson. Fragrant redcurrunt, cranberry, pepper, sage, dried herb aromas with underlying mocha notes. Supple sweet cranberry, recurrant, raspberry fruits with some blackberry, brambly notes, peppery nuances, plentiful fine sinewy long and refined tannins, some savoury roasted walnut, light marzipan notes. A fresh chalky finish with persistent juicy fruits. The barrel maturation characters and mid-palate viscosity really distinguish this wine."
95/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"Exuberant, youthful, varietal and floral bouquet, Aromas of boysenberry and black currant, dark raspberry and sweet spicy scents of oak. There’s some peppery moments though the dry spice and earthy qualities melt all together in complexity. Firm and dry on the palate with a core of dark berry flavours that reflect the bouquet, a firm youthful structure from wood and toasty spices and a back bone of acidity - both highlighting some varietal peppercorn notes. Delicious, fresh, youthful, complex and well made. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2030+."
