Giunta Syrah comes from gravel soils of Hawke's Bay, yielding peppery, medium‑bodied wines.
Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak barrels to integrate spice and tannin.
Bottled under screwcap, it is dry with blackberry, pepper and violet notes.

Description
Giunta Syrah 2023 is a testament to Hawke's Bay's suitability for Rhône varieties and Daniel Brennan's focus on balance and site transparency. The grapes are sourced from gravel-rich river terraces, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel with wild yeasts, then matured in French oak barriques, largely seasoned to allow the variety's inherent perfume and structure to shine. The wine is deep purple with aromas of blackberry, black pepper, violets and subtle smoke. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth and savoury, with supple tannins, spice and a long, gently mineral finish. Bottled under screwcap, this Syrah offers an accessible yet serious take on New Zealand's most exciting red grape, ideal with grilled lamb, peppered beef or roasted aubergine.
