The la collina vineyard is a steep, terraced and incline planted hillside vineyard on the North/Northwest facing slopes of Roys Hill, west of Hastings, Hawke's Bay. The hillside is protected from the cooling effects of the southerly winds and during the growing season the vine-yard is bathed in sunshine. The hillside terraces are planted to Syrah (and a few other interesting Varieties) whilst the lower slopes and Gravels flat are planted to Chardonnay and Viognier/Marsanne/Roussanne. The 2021 growing season was the third leg of a Hawke's Bay winning trifecta; dry and warm and all round, a great season. The fruit was hand harvested in perfect condition over two days in early April. The perfect condition of the fruit allowed for the inclusion of some whole bunches in the fermentation. The wine was fermented in open top fermenta-tion vessels, pressed at dryness and transferred to barriques where the wine remained for 20 months.

Lemon straw with green hue. Citrus, fig and toasty oak. A hint of complexity and a struck match flintiness. A full palate texture, with a spicy oak influence and seamless finish.

Aromas of blackberry, ripe plum and cassis lift from the glass, layered with subtle smoky oak spice. The palate is youthful and plush, showing ripe, rounded fruit, fine tannin texture and a gentle line of soft acidity. Utterly moreish, it draws you straight back for another sip.

On the nose there is an array of floral notes with Nashi pear and apples, complemented by white peach and guava flavours. Lovely flavours of Nashi pear and apple combine on the palate to create fullness with crisp acidity to create balance.

On the nose this wine shows red berry notes with spiciness and tones of nashi pear supported by hints of honeyed complexity. The palate displays flavours of red apples, red berries and spice. This is a textural wine with a fleshy mid palate creating a succulent wine that has a soft finish.

This wine presents aromas of peach, nectarine and subtle spice notes. These characters follow through onto the palate where they are combined with delicate citrus flavours and an enveloping texture. The palate is lingering and culminates with natural sweetness and a hint of acidity.

Sweet ripe fruit characters with a delightful mix of citrus, floral, pear, tropical fruit and crisp nettle highlights abound. This powerful wine is almost pungent in its intensity with full fruit flavours across the spectrum, from ripe tropical fruit to lush pink grapefruit

Bold and elegant, the Back Block Syrah has pepper, spice, plum, and succulent ripe tannins. The dark magenta colour immediately suggests it from a very good vintage and the flavours are ripe. The Back Block Syrah is one of Brookfields most popular wines - do enjoy!
