| Tasting Notes |
This wine has a deep magenta red colour with a purple hue. The aroma of raspberries and cherries are complemented by the bouquet of cedar and vanilla from the barrel ageing. Fragrant raspberry and red plum flavours are supported by delicate tannins which will ensure the wine will develop in the bottle for 3-5 years. |
| Winemakers Notes |
The Gisborne grapes were machine harvested and then crushed, destemmed and chilled when loaded into bins before travelling to Kumeu.
All the vinification was done at the Kumeu Winery. A fruit enhancing yeast was used for the 7 to 10 day ferment, and the wine was kept on the grape skins for another week. |
| Food Match: |
Excellent food match with strong meats like game, venison and beef. |
| Cellaring: |
Firm tannins ensure cellaring potential of 3-5 years. |
