It's always been more about finding the best spot to grow syrah in relatively marginal climates, learning how to grow it as well as possible there, and then tempering the winemaking to show off hard earned, terroir-driven fruit. So, no jam, no added powdered tannins, no acidification, no flavoring with American oak, no fire-breathing alcohol levels and no menthol-eucalypt stink. If New Zealand syrah leans anywhere stylistically, it's in the direction of the Northern Rhone'but with a New World twist. Since 1984 syrah has demonstrated a remarkable ability to produce smartly styled, high quality wine up and down the country. Successful North Island producers range between Okahu Estate, Omata Estate and Karikari way up top in subtropical Northland; through Marsden in the Bay of Islands; Matakana Estate just above Auckland; and Kennedy Point, Te Whau, Man O'War, Hay Paddock and Passage Rock on Waiheke Island; down through more than a dozen leading growers in Hawkes Bay (Bridge Pa, Mills Reef, Matariki, Mission, Craggy Range, Te Mata, Stonecroft, Te Awa, CJ Pask, Trinity Hill, Bilancia, Hatton, Church Road, Corbans, Esk, Villa Maria, Vidals, Forrest, etc...); finally ending with Martinborough's hard core: Dry River, Schubert and Murdoch James. Given the considerably cooler climates of the South Island it is surprising that syrah has pushed the envelope and found homes in all the southern wine regions as well. Nelson's Te Mania and Glover make respectable syrah.
