Black Barn Syrah

Just five minutes drive up the road from the sleepy Hawke’s Bay village of Havelock North is Black Barn vineyards. These guys are so much more than just top notch Hawke’s Bay wine.

Try their wines at the cellar door. Grab a bite at their award winning bistro and ‘love local’ kitchen store. Treat yourself to something at their summer Saturday morning grower’s market. Catch a gig at the outdoor concert amphitheatre. Why not stay the night in one of their sixteen luxury accommodation retreats? And if you really want to fall in love with the place you can tie the knot here too!

It’s why they say you can stay for an hour or two, a day or two or a week or two!

Hawke’s Bay is well known for it’s damn good Syrah and this 2020 release from Black Barn is a great example of why.

Scoring 93/100 with Master of Wine Bob Campbell for The Real Review. Bob calls it “Intense, supple syrah with cassis, blackberry, black pepper, violet and spicy oak flavours. It sits perfectly between the big, rich blockbuster style and the taut, nervy, floral-focused kind of syrah. A stylish wine”
