A dry, taut and poised wine touches the palate first, releasing slowly flavours of fleshy salivating red berry fruits, spice and blackcurrant to reflect and mirror the bouquet. Tannins deliver a firm youthful tension enhanced by the backbone of acidity and saline ideas on the finish. A flick of violet completes the tasting. A delicious wine with best drinking from late 2027 through 2035+.” APR 22\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.camdouglasms.com\/reviews\/2026\/4\/23\/astrolabe-beacon-hill-vineyard-syrah-2024-southern-valleys-marlborough?rq=astrolabe%20syrah\"\u003eCameron Douglas, Master Sommelier\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Deep purple in colour, this wine seduces   with juicy mouthwatering fruit forward aromas - ripe Omega plums and blackberry - with complex savoury spice that comes through in layers of subtle cinnamon, black pepper and gentle cedar notes; all interwoven into the fleshy ripe flavours of this wine. Firm tannins underpin the structure of this dry, youthful Syrah with firm palate weight bringing interest to every savoury sip. It’s a beautiful Syrah to enjoy now - especially when decanted for a couple of hours - but will come into its own in three to four years (potentially longer) from now.” APR 2026\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/joellethomson.com\/\"\u003eJoelle Thomson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSustainably certified \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nzwine.com\/en\/sustainability\/swnz\/\"\u003eSWNZ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVegetarian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"EACH","offer_id":55217296965937,"sku":"NZ7423b","price":67.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.regionalwines.co.nz\/products\/astrolabe-southern-valleys-syrah-2024","provider":"Regional Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
