The wine KĀMAKA is cultivated on the exceptional terroir of Seyssuel. A true "wine from stones," all vines were planted by hand using a metal rod into coarse schist rocks. It was important to explain the nature of the soil in naming this cuvée - made entirely from 100% Syrah. When a New Zealand winemaker steps onto the soil of Seyssuel... it results in "KĀMAKA," which in Māori means rock and/or stones. Wines made from Syrah grapes are renowned for their deep red color and intense aromas of dark fruits like black cherries, accompanied by notes of black pepper, spices, and sometimes smoky nuances. They often provide a robust structure with rich flavor and distinctively pronounced tannins. The range of styles varies from fruity and approachable to complex and age-worthy.
