The Aotea by Seifried Syrah was blended from a small parcel of fruit from the Brightwater vineyard. The parcel was fermented separately and had an extended period in oak barriques. The wine is rich, warm and opulent with supple dark berry flavours complemented with warm cinnamon and hints of freshly ground black pepper. Layers of ripe flavours linger on the palate leaving a lasting impression.
