Awarded Double Gold Medal @ New Zealand International Wine Show 2022

This is a highly awarded red that is priced to reward and award.

"Vibrant, fresh, bright and fruity bouquet of fresh red berries, plums and toasty wood spices. Boysenberry and Doris plums, black currant and kitchen spices of clove and vanilla. Dry with a moderate weight, a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet and a youthful acid line adds crunch while the fine easy tannins add texture and length. A lovely wine, ready to drink from 2021 through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier 

Several individual parcels were harvested separately and de-stemmed prior to fermentation leaving a high proportion of whole berries. Gentle daily pumping over of the skins during fermentation helped extract a soft, complex structure. Skin maceration was extended for up to 4 weeks following fermentation to further integrate and soften the tannins.

Following seven months aging in a combination stainless steel tanks and small French oak barrels the individual parcels were blended to create the ideal marriage of components. Winery
