Description

  • Subtle oak
  • Dark plum & berries
  • Toasted nut & olive
  • Soft tannins

"This is immediately appealing on the nose with dark and purple fruit, subtle spice, thyme and almond notes, followed by a fruit-forward palate delivering juicy flavours with silky texture and fine tannins. Well rounded and attractively drinking. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2022

A Bordeaux style with aromas of dark berry fruits, olive and toasted nuts. The palate is playful with characters of of ripe black plums and soft tannins with an underlying subtle oak. Drinking beautifully now this wine can be enjoyed young or with careful cellaring will mature over the next 5 years or beyond.

The free draining gravel type soil in the Hawke’s Bay, combined with the climate are the perfect mix for the growth of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The fruit was carefully monitored during ripening and harvested in the cool evening at maximum flavour maturing and physiological ripeness.

Food Pairing: Matched perfectly with Rosemary and garlic roast lamb.
