Description
- Cherry & plum
- Blackberry
- Violet aromas
- Supple mouthfeel
This red is predominantly a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot adding further complexity and interest. Cherry/plum flavours and the suppleness of Merlot combine with the violet perfume and blackberry flavours of Cabernet Franc to produce a serious, yet eminently drinkable wine packed full of flavour and character. Ready to drink now but will reward short to medium-term cellaring (three to five years from harvest date).
The 2020/2021 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was warm and dry; perfect conditions to produce ripe, rich, and distinctive red varietals.
Each individual vineyard parcel was harvested separately and destemmed prior to fermentation. Gentle daily pumping over of the skins during fermentation helped extract a soft, complex structure. Extended maceration on skins following fermentation helped to further integrate and soften the tannins. Following aging in stainless steel tanks the individual blocks were blended to create the ideal wine.
Food Pairing: A versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or partnered with a wide range of different flavoured foods.

Full bodied red ok with a steak, too heavy for too much in my view but that's the style.

I buy this quite a lot - this is good plus and syrah.
