2005 Louis Syrah

Louis Syrah 2005 is the flagship wine of single estate, boutique wine producer Bridge Pa Vineyard. Named for Louis, the Daysh family’s oldest child, this wine is made from the very best hand harvested fruit from vines grown on Taupo pumice sands at the Ngatarawa Road vineyard.  Crafted by Bruce Helliwell using traditional gentle winemaking techniques Louis Syrah 2005 displays the classic Bridge Pa Vineyard aromas of perfumed violet and black fruit. The palate is full bodied and smooth featuring berries, black cracked pepper and an earthy undertone. Extended barrel aging in American oak barriques has contributed to a beautifully balanced and elegantly structured wine that will continue to develop in the bottle long after it’s release.
