2022 Easthope Home Block Syrah

Bob Campbell MW

In stock

The 2021 vintage of this Syrah won Best Red in Metro Magazine! It's a classy and characterful red from the Hawkes Bay family vineyard of ex-Craggy winemaker, Rod Easthope. These vines are tended by the "vested hands" of Rod and his wife Emma to produce a Syrah of uncompromising boutique quality. With a lovely depth of bright, gently savoury fruit flavours, the Easthope Syrah overdelivers in appeal and potential at this very ordinary price. Try this!

$47.99 in mixed 6+ or $53.99 per bottle

What The Critics Say

92/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Taut, elegant syrah with black pepper and yellow-fleshed plum flavours and a backbone of silken tannins and juicy acidity. Supple wine with development potential 19 Aug 2024." Drink 2024 - 2030

Best Wine and Top 10 in Metro Magazine (2021 vintage)

94/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2021 vintage)

"A core of dark purple and ruby hues lead to a bouquet of fresh and baked raspberry, dark plums, fragrant spices and mild toasty barrel qualities with a whisper of wood smoke. Delicious on the palate with a core of dark red fruit flavours and fine savoury spice qualities. Violets and black currant, toasty barrel spices of clove and vanilla all leading to a long and conmplex finish. A wine bext enjoyed from late 2023 through 2030+ if stored well."
