Shed 530 Estate sits in Hawke's Bay, one of New Zealand's warmest and most promising regions for Syrah — a grape that has taken to the Bay's free-draining soils and long, sun-drenched autumns with real conviction. This 2022 is full-bodied and generous, leading with dark berry fruit and the kind of cracked black pepper that marks out cool-influence Syrah from warmer, jammier styles. Smooth tannins and a backbone of lively acidity keep things in shape. Open it with something off the grill and it will make complete sense.
