The wine displays a deep ruby colour with exceptional concentration. Jason Stent’s commitment to expressing terroir and varietal character shines through every element, from vineyard to bottle.

Nose: Complex aromas of black Doris plum and wild forest berries lead, followed by bitter chocolate, cocoa powder, and fine cedar notes. Vanilla, baking spices, star anise, and hints of leather add aromatic depth.

Palate: Plush and rich with concentrated black plum flavours and perfectly ripe fruit. Seamless tannins provide fine structure, while balanced acidity keeps the wine vibrant and elegant. Barrel details emerge as chocolate, mocha, and subtle petrichor notes.

Finish: Long and powerful, with lingering dark berry fruit and cedary spice that speaks to the wine’s ageing potential.

Pair this red blend with char-grilled ribeye, braised lamb shanks, or aged hard cheeses.

Serve at 15-18°C in large Bordeaux glasses, allowing the wine to breathe for thirty minutes before pouring.

A standout choice for collectors seeking New Zealand reds with structure and longevity, or as a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts who appreciate Bordeaux-style blends.
