A Premium Syrah with a Rich Spice Profile
“We’re delighted to offer this exceptional Syrah at such an affordable price!”
That is our first thought about this wine. We can offer a premium Syrah for less than ¥5,000 including tax thanks to our exclusive import rights.
This is no ordinary Syrah. It is made from grapes grown in Gimblet Gravels, a special vineyard site in Hawke’s Bay, one of New Zealand’s premier wine regions.
Once a riverbed, Gimblet Gravels has a distinctive, lean, stony soil. It is highly regarded by wine enthusiasts worldwide as an ideal site for growing Syrah and Bordeaux varieties.
Naturally, its exceptional quality has led to increasing prices for wines from Gimblet Gravels. However, we have managed to secure this batch of “Gardo & Morris Hawke's Bay Syrah 2019,” made from Gimblet Gravels grapes. The recommended retail price is ¥4,675 including tax.
However, this price is expected to rise in the future. It will likely only be available at this price for this particular batch, so be sure to check it out soon.
The wine offers depth of dark fruit, with nuances of spice and earth and the clarity characteristic of cool-climate sites.
It is an elegant cool-climate Syrah that offers depth and a long finish rather than sheer intensity!
Viticulture and Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested from two vineyards in the Gimblet Gravels region. A deep layer of gravel lies beneath shallow silt soils, giving the site excellent drainage.
Yields are slightly low, at 3 to 4 tonnes per acre. The warm, dry conditions of March and April 2019 produced small, concentrated fruit. The winery says that 2019 yielded some of the finest Syrah it has ever produced.
The harvested grapes are gently destemmed and crushed, then fermented in small open-top tanks. After one week of cool maceration, spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts begins. The wine is gently punched down and pumped over by hand during fermentation and remains on the skins for three to four weeks.
The wine is then racked by gravity, and the skins are gently pressed. It is aged for approximately 12 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Malolactic fermentation in the barrel softens the acidity and adds complexity.
After a light egg-white fining, the wine is bottled unfiltered. The entire process follows traditional French methods.
Tasting
The nose features blackberry, raspberry, and dark cherry, with smoky game, black pepper, dried herbs, and bay leaf. Floral aromas typical of cool-climate sites also emerge.
The palate is powerful yet elegant. Rich dark fruit is layered with nuances of spice and earth, followed by a long, deep finish. The concentration of fruit and spicy elements combine beautifully, showcasing the clarity and appeal of cool-climate Syrah.
Pairing
We recommend serving at 16–18°C.
- Grilled steak or lamb chops
- Spicy duck dishes
- Roast venison
- Japanese dishes such as simmered beef tendon or yakitori (thigh or scallion) with sansho pepper
It pairs exceptionally well with red meat and spicy dishes. Its moderate style makes it easy to enjoy with a wide range of meat dishes.

About the Winery “Gardo & Morris”
This family-run boutique winery is operated by Ben Morris and Frida Gardo. It has the unique setup of producing wine at two sites in New Zealand and Sweden. Their handcrafted wines are highly regarded in Sweden, where they are sold at upscale restaurants and state-owned liquor stores.
Origins and History
Winemaking manager Ben Morris was born in New Zealand and studied organic winemaking at Lincoln University. After graduating, he gained experience as a “flying winemaker” in France and California before moving to Sweden with his wife, Frida, in 2006 and establishing his own brand.
Frida, who is Swedish, leads sales and distribution in the Swedish market. The winery’s name, “Gardo,” comes from her surname and represents the couple’s partnership.
Viticultural and Winemaking Philosophy
The winery works with small-scale, high-quality grape growers across New Zealand, cultivating grapes using a natural approach that minimizes the use of pesticides and other chemicals.
In the winery, they focus on natural winemaking with minimal intervention to bring out the full character of the terroir and grape varieties.
Sustainability and Cultural Heritage
Environmental care and sustainable production are core values for Gardo & Morris.
The winery adheres to organic viticultural practices and avoids unnecessary additives during winemaking, producing high-quality wine while reducing its environmental impact.
With Ben from New Zealand and Frida from Sweden, this winery truly serves as a bridge between the two countries.
Blending the strengths of both cultures, the winery’s wines pair beautifully with traditional Swedish cuisine and are highly regarded by local restaurants.
About Hawke’s Bay
Hawke’s Bay is located in the eastern part of New Zealand’s North Island. Characterized by abundant sunshine and a relatively warm climate, it has the country’s second-largest area of grape cultivation.
Hawke’s Bay is particularly renowned for its red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Syrah, while its fruity Chardonnay is popular among white wine drinkers.
The Gimblet Gravels area, formed when an ancient riverbed was pushed up by earthquakes, is one of Hawke’s Bay’s important subregions.
