Immediately warm and appetising, this deliciously harmonious blend of two classical Bordeaux varieties showcases blackberry and plum fruits, complemented with light oak spice, hints of blueberry, violets and embodied with silky smooth tannins.

Great colour and appearance with a core of dark berries and plums, barrel spices and dry stone earthy enticements. A decent weight with textures from tannins and acidity leading into flavours of dark berries, chocolate, barrels spices, some and salivating acid line. In short, delicious. A great wine to open today alongside food or cellar till 2026 and enjoy through 20332.

An excellent choice with Roasted duck breast and plum sauce, with a side of duck fat fries.
This fine wine is an appealing blend of the classic Bordeaux varieties, Merlot (64%) and Malbec (36%).
The 2021/22 growing season in Hawkes Bay enjoyed a climate of consistently warm clear sunny days and uniform temperatures providing uniform budburst and flowering. Early summer rain reinvigorated the vines allowing grapes to develop perfectly and be harvested unhurried at optimal ripeness. Crafted from grapes grown in the highly acclaimed Gimblett Gravels, harvest occurred on the 14th and 21st March, respectively, 2022 at optimum ripeness, balance and flavour.
The grapes were gently crushed, cold-soaked for three days before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with gentle daily cap management to extract colour, flavour and fine tannin structure. A post-ferment maceration followed over five days. The skins were then pressed off and the wine aged for eleven months in quality oak barrels (25% French new wood), undergoing one racking during this time. Bottling occurred on the 25th July 2024 under screwcap.
