Sourced from Hawke’s Bay on New Zealand’s North Island, this blend draws on the area’s warm, sunny climate and free-draining soils. The grapes are vinified with care to preserve vibrant fruit aromatics while adding subtle oak complexity.
Nose: Aromas of blackberry, ripe plum and cassis lift immediately, layered with subtle smoky oak spice and hints of wood smoke that add depth without overpowering the fruit.
Palate: The palate is youthful and plush, showing dark cherry, baked plums and berry fruits with a fine, smooth texture. Soft acidity balances the ripe fruit profile, creating a moreish drinking style.
Finish: The finish is elegant and medium in length, with lingering notes of dark berries and a whisper of barrel spice.
Pair this with grilled lamb, beef dishes with peppery sauces, or a classic cheeseburger for a satisfying match.
Serve just below room temperature, ideally between 16-18 degrees Celsius, in a standard red wine glass to allow the aromas to open.
A reliable choice for home entertaining, casual dinners, or as a thoughtful gift for red wine enthusiasts who favour approachable, fruit-forward styles.
