What started with one single vineyard Pinot Noir from 2015 has now grown into a full range of wines from several carefully chosen vineyards across Marlborough, showcasing the very best of Marlborough - Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Malbec. Palate weight, concentration and intensity of flavour are the three pillars of Calrossie Vineyards' wines.

Vineyard and vintage
97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, the fruit is from BioGro certified organic vineyards in Wairau Valley, Marlborough. The soils are wind-blown loess over rich clay. The 2023 growing season in Marlborough was an easy one, perhaps only made challenging by rain at harvest time. That said, good luck and a well-timed pick had us harvest the fruit at perfect ripeness and in great condition.

Vinification
The  fruit was hand harvested, destemmed and then wild fermented in tank for 3 weeks. Pressed into aged French oak barriques for 21 months. Bottled unfiltered, unfined (vegan friendly) and with minimal sulphites.

Tasting Notes
"From rich clay soils and high-density planted vines, our organically grown Syrah is packed with red berries, violets, graphite and wild herbs. Beautifully ripe at harvest, and matured in aged French oak for 21 months, this wine is full of structure and will drink well now, but continue to reveal more with time through to late 2028"
