Thomas Legacy Syrah 2024

The 2024 Legacy Syrah showcases the classic Waiheke expression of Syrah, drawing inspiration from the refined style of the Northern Rhône. It displays a harmonious balance of acidity, structure, and fruit purity. Approachable in its youth, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years. Ideal pairing with lamb or game meats, though equally enjoyable on its own.

Review by Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

5 Stars | 97pts "Offering fabulous fruit purity and power, the wine showcases blackberry, Black Doris plum, thyme, game, and fine oak aromas. The palate displays excellent concentration and richness, wonderfully complemented by a plush texture and layers of grainy tannins, making it firmly structured, yet harmonious and supple, with a prolonged, gratifying finish."

Review by Cameron Douglas - Master Sommelier 

Excellent | 94pts "Core hues of deep purple and pink at the rim, a decent concentration and colour stained tears. Dry, tense and firmly textured with a rich core of dark red fruit flavours, a backbone of acidity and firm tannins. Well made with best drinking from late 2028 through 2034."

4 Stars | 92-93pts "This Waiheke Island Syrah is an engaging, cool-climate expression featuring aromatic notes of white pepper, wild florals, and a hint of BBQ ash. The palate is agile yet structured, unfolding dark plum and blackberry flavours that lead into a classic, refined finish."
