Description

World renowned vineyard ‘Clayvin’ has historically set the standard for premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir production from Marlborough.

Clayvin vineyard is a living tribute to Marlborough’s viticultural history. Organic with 30+ year old vines, clay soil, high density plantings deliver wines of great concentration and richness. Our finest wines from a distinctive, revered vineyard.

Clayvin Syrah was crafted with minimal intervention, featuring hand harvesting, sorting, and gentle cold soaking. A 10-day indigenous yeast ferment peaked at 29°C, followed by 21 days on skins and 15 days post-ferment maceration for tannin refinement. Aged 14 months in 100% French oak (40% new).

On the nose our Single Vineyard Clayvin Syrah has beautiful, bright, aromatic fruit aromas of blueberry and plum which meld with violet, cinnamon and nutmeg unlined with an aniseed influence. Its powerful palate is full of texture and concentration with a lingering savoury finish.
