  • This wine is the culmination of over 50 years of passion. A wine with poise, presence and a deep geological history.
  • This deep ruby-coloured wine yields notably intense and pure aromatics of cassis, red and black plum, and floral violet scents, with fresh ground coffee beans, fragrant dried thyme, and cedar spice nuances also vying for attention. Layers of concentrated flavours emerge and flow beautifully across the palate from start to finish, with optimally ripe fruit, fine-grained tannins, and supportive oak enhancing overall texture and richness at each point. This full-bodied and age-worthy wine will benefit and gain additional complexity from careful cellaring over the next 15-20 years.

Layers of concentrated flavours are revealed across a medium- to full-bodied frame, with ripe fruit, hints of black olive, and cigar. All are wrapped by fine-grained tannins and supportive oak, enhancing texture and richness from start to finish. This vintage will benefit from and gain additional complexity from careful cellaring over the next 15+ years. 

The grapes were destemmed and crushed before a 21-day fermentation, during which the caps were hand plunged three times a day. Post-fermentation, the wine was racked to a 60% new French oak barrique for 20 months of ageing.

Winery

Hawkes Bay's coastal location and proximity to mountains typically experience a dry maritime climate with an influential diurnal temperature range. Gimblett Gravels is approximately 15km inland and experiences temperatures typically warmer than neighbouring localities. This promotes a consistent level of ripeness achieved by low-yielding vines planted in free-draining soils.
