Richly textured and layered, it weaves baking spices, rose petal, dried herbs and black pepper through a red berry core, with tight-grained French oak adding a toasty warmth that ties it all together. Juicy tannins and fresh acidity give it real versatility at the table, while the complex finish keeps you coming back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, the berries were delicately split to maximise skin contact, with some whole cluster retained for added complexity. A cold soak preceded gradual warming for sequential fermentation in small stainless steel vessels using both indigenous and selected yeasts and bacteria. Bouquets were developed through manual punch-downs and air pulses before gentle pressing in a vertical basket. Maturation in carefully chosen French oak barrels added depth and structure. Bottled unfiltered and unfined under screw cap — built to age, and honest about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLamb shoulder with herbs, venison, duck confit, or a slow-roasted pork belly. The wine's spice, rose petal lift, and juicy tannins make it a natural match for richly flavoured meats and earthy, herb-driven dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginny's NZ","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45203788202037,"sku":null,"price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 PK","offer_id":45203788234805,"sku":null,"price":297.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 PK","offer_id":45203788267573,"sku":null,"price":563.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/6508\/5749\/files\/Tantalus20255.jpg?v=1778131075","url":"https:\/\/ginnys.nz\/products\/tantalus-estate-waiheke-island-syrah-viogner-2017","provider":"Ginny's NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
