title: Stonecroft 2014 Crofters Gimblett Gravels Syrah (Hawke's Bay)
description: Alan Limmer of Stonecroft was the first modern grower of Syrah in New Zealand, planting his first vines in 1984. While the winery has changed hands, it's still a good source for Syrah. This bottling is appropriately smoky and peppery, with hints of bacon fat and blueberries, and a lingering, softly dusty finish.
variety: Syrah
designation: Crofters Gimblett Gravels
