The perfect NZ Syrah
Syrah wine is produced in New Zealand at 0.5% of the total wine production. Because it is a variety that is only grown in small quantities, it is difficult to find Syrah wine from New Zealand even in Japan (in terms of export volume by variety, it is only 0.1%).
However, many of these hidden New Zealand Syrahs are extremely high quality and exciting when you actually try them!
In particular, the Dreadnought Syrah from Man O'War, a winery on Waiheke Island near Auckland, has an outstanding flavor.
First of all, the sweet licorice-like aroma that is the characteristic of this variety is irresistible.The strong spice that lingers on the palate gives it a stimulation that other varieties do not have.
However, speaking of Syrah, Shiraz (the same variety as Syrah) from Australia, New Zealand's neighbor, is extremely famous in Japan.
However, in fact, New Zealand Syrah has a completely different appeal from Australian Shiraz.
Australian Shiraz is rather rich in flavor. It is popular to have a thick umami flavor and a spicy taste like black pepper (although this is not always the case these days).
NZ Syrah has a slightly different character, with a strong fruitiness but not being too strong in color or flavor.
Many producers are aiming to produce elegant Syrah, a specialty of the northern Rhone region of France.
The same can be said for this Man O'War. When poured into a glass, it is not pitch black but has a slight sheerness.
The aroma is very complex. As mentioned above, the first thing you notice is the sweet nuance of licorice. This is followed by fruity notes of blackberry and cassis, vanilla from the barrels, and spicy notes of cloves, nutmeg, and white pepper, which are the original characteristics of the variety.
Layered is the perfect word to describe this wine. It is a magnificent taste that could be called the perfect form of NZ Syrah.
As expected, a wine of this price class (7,700 yen) is extremely satisfying to drink on its own, but when paired with a suitable dish, the beauty of the harmony is almost artistic.
A perfect pair would be, for example...
- Lamb steak
- Genghis Khan
- Red beef grilled meat
- Sukiyaki
is.
It will be especially successful if you add spices such as pepper and Japanese pepper. Star anise also makes a great companion to this dish.
About the winery "Man O'War Vineyards"
Man O' War Vineyards is a winery located on Waiheke Island near Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand. The Spencer family acquired land in the northeast of Waiheke Island in the 1980s and planted their first grapes in 1993. After that, they spent about 20 years analyzing the soil and climatic conditions and planting grapes in the optimal plots, and now they own about 150 acres of vineyards.
The winery's name comes from the fact that when British explorer James Cook visited the area in the 18th century, he noticed that the shape of the bay resembled a warship (Man O' War).
Thought, philosophy
Man O'War Vineyards believes that "great wines start in the fields" and places great importance on making the most of the individuality of the vineyards. They use grapes from 76 different plots scattered across Waiheke Island and adopt a unique approach to blending that makes the most of the characteristics of each.
In addition, by intentionally growing grapes in harsh environments, the grapes are concentrated and produce a deeper flavor. In terms of winemaking, the company combines traditional methods with the latest technology to maximize the quality of the grapes.
Environmental Initiatives
Man O'War Vineyards protects the natural environment through winemaking and promotes sustainable agriculture.
Sustainable Farming
Of the 4,500 acres of land, only 150 acres are vineyards, while the remaining land is used for olive cultivation and livestock farming, maintaining the ecosystem of the entire farm.
Ecosystem Preservation
Since acquiring the land, thousands of native trees have been planted, restoring the virgin forest, helping to prevent soil erosion and maintain biodiversity.
Sustainable cultivation management
In order to conserve water resources, they use dry farming (rain-fed farming) and practice grape cultivation with minimal use of chemicals.
Promoting ecotourism
We have opened a zip line tour called "Forest Flight" that promotes tourism while protecting the forest, creating an environment where visitors can enjoy themselves while coexisting with nature.
Through these efforts, Man O'War Vineyards aims to improve the quality of its wines while also protecting the environment and practicing sustainable agriculture.
About Auckland
Auckland is, of course, New Zealand's largest city and an important wine producing region.
The main varieties grown are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, producing wines that are complex and elegant.
Within Auckland, Waiheke Island is famous, also known as the "Wine Island," and is home to full-bodied wines with rich, full-bodied flavors.
