Villa Maria Cellar Selection Syrah

2022, Hawkes Bay New Zealand

In our opinion, one of NZ's best value Syrahs - year after year after year!
4 Stars (Michael Cooper, NZ Listener) - "This youthful, graceful red delivers good value. Full-coloured, it is a fragrant medium-to-full-bodied wine with very good depth of vibrant plum and black pepper flavours, a distinct touch of complexity and a smooth, harmonious, lingering finish"
Silky, supple medium bodied red bursting with dark berries and spice
Just the red for a cut of good old Kiwi lamb

It seems pretty fitting that Villa Maria decided to put their Cellar Selection range behind a Gold label – being NZ’s most awarded winery they’ve won a Gold or few in their time.

And their Villa Maria Cellar Selection Syrah is no stranger to the podium. We cannot remember the last time this label didn’t win a Gold or a 5 Star review. Honestly, this must be up there with some of the best NZ Syrah you can lay your mits on for the money.

The 2022 is here and no doubt shapes up to be another beauty. A rich, silky, supple, medium bodied red and absolutely that’s just bursting with delicious dark berries and spice.

It’s got the legs to be cellared for a good 6-7 years yet so open some now and tuck some away for a few years yet.
