Warm and exuberant nose of plum, boysenberry, raspberry and raisins. Integrated oak with touches of vanilla and cedar and also leather. Enticing. Warm and opulent. Ripe fruits  - plums, blackberry - along with cinnamon and chocolate notes. Mouth filling, soft and fresh with fine tannins and lingering red liquorish.

Specially selected from our estate-owned vineyards throughout the Hawke’s Bay region, we combine robust Cabernet Sauvignon with soft Merlot and a touch of Malbec resulting in a full flavoured dry red with easy drinking appeal.

On skins with careful cap management to avoid over extraction. A period in tank post ferment to aid integration of tannins.

Food Pairing: An ideal partner for an antipasto platter featuring a range of salami and smoked meats, or any meaty casserole, like lamb shanks.
