Okahu Syrah 2014

Okahu Syrah 2014

The long hot Summer/Autumn of 2014 in Northland produced ideal conditions for warm ripe Syrah fruit.

It continues to develop into a seriously great, elegant example of Okahu Syrah. A must for those big winter meals.  Pour carefully though as there is some tartaric crystals and sediment occurring in the bottle as the wine matures.
