DRINK OF THE WEEK
27th July 2026
The Ned Skyscraper Syrah
Majestic £15.00 Mix 6 price
Drinker Rating 91
Wines from The Ned have been around for ages it seems and they're most well known for their big expressive Marlborough sauvignon blanc - so I was most intrigued when I was sent this syrah by them.
My misguided understanding was that syrah needed lots of warm sunshine to ripen properly and Marlborough has quite a cool climate. I was wrong, first up syrah does very well in cooler sites and second, although cool, Marlborough has exceedingly good light quality.
So that's why this wine is sumptuous with black fruit and a little hint of wood-smoke. Amazing value for such a good wine at Majestic.
Cheers!
