What you need to know about New Zealand Syrah
In 2017 the national vineyard includes 5,653 hectares of pinot noir, making it the second most planted variety after sauvignon blanc. Syrah has just 431 hectares – New Zealand's seventh most important grape variety.
On the other hand, the acreage of syrah has grown significantly faster than pinot noir in the last decade. Syrah has jumped by 55% compared to 21.6% for pinot noir.
Maybe now is the perfect time to taste some of New Zealand's best Syrah.
New Zealand's Syrah regions
Winemakers were divided on whether co-fermenting syrah with a little viognier makes a better wine. Some do it, others don’t. Regional and subregional differences in syrah are more significant than the influence that viognier makes to the wine.
Hawke’s Bay and the upper North Island (especially Waiheke Island) have a hot, new-ish red-wine variety, attracting growing international acclaim.
75% of the country's Syrah is grown in these two regions.
