Syrah of this calibre is rare in New Zealand — and Astrolabe's Southern Valleys 2024 is a wine that demands attention. Poised, perfumed, and built for the long haul, this is a collector's Syrah with a drinking window stretching from late 2027 through 2035 and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStriking hues of purple and dark red with a ruby and pink rim set the scene. The bouquet is pure and ripe: violets and ripe red berries lead, with blackcurrant and dark raspberry flesh adding depth, followed by a quietly spoken layer of barrel spice and earthy silty clay ideas that speak directly to the Southern Valleys terroir. On the palate the wine is dry, taut, and poised — releasing slowly into fleshy, salivating red berry fruits, spice, and blackcurrant that mirror the bouquet with precision. Firm, youthful tannins deliver real tension, enhanced by a backbone of acidity and saline ideas on the finish. A final flick of violet completes the tasting. Vegan-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest enjoyed from late 2027 with a decant. When ready, pair with slow-roasted lamb, venison, duck, or aged hard cheeses. The firm tannins, dark fruit, and earthy complexity call for equally bold and flavourful food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginny's NZ","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45195508121653,"sku":null,"price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 PK","offer_id":45195508154421,"sku":null,"price":384.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 PK","offer_id":45195508187189,"sku":null,"price":729.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/6508\/5749\/files\/NEWASTRO262.jpg?v=1777872317","url":"https:\/\/ginnys.nz\/products\/astrolabe-southern-valleys-syrah-2024","provider":"Ginny's NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
