A Stage for Bold Flavours
Two Rivers ‘Amphitheatre’ Syrah captures the drama of Marlborough’s landscape in every glass. Lifted aromas of blueberries and violets mingle with notes of chocolate and cocoa bean, creating a wine of expressive character and great potential. The palate is elegant, bright and focused, with silky tannins, a seamless mouthfeel and exceptional purity.
A prolonged Indian summer with cool nights, typical of Marlborough, produced pristine fruit with beautifully ripe flavours and great natural acidity. Hand harvested from single cane, high-density planted vines, the fruit was fermented in open-top tanks with 30% whole bunch clusters, then lightly pressed into seasoned French oak barrels and aged for 11 months. In pursuit of quality, the wine remains unfined and unfiltered, with only a touch of sulphur added before bottling – allowing the vineyard’s voice to shine through in its purest form.
