Pask Declaration Syrah 2021
Trust your Taste
Dark fruit, cassis and black pepper lead into a savoury, elegant Hawke’s Bay Syrah. Fine tannins give it definition without making it feel oversized. Try it when you want a red with peppery character and a long finish, especially alongside a savoury dinner.

How this wine feels
This has a clear shape in the mouth, with fine tannins giving the fruit a little grip. Pepper and savoury flavours are as much a part of the experience as the dark fruit. Expect poise and length, with enough freshness to keep the finish defined.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
