A dark ruby red colour with inviting aromas of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry. Red fruits carry to the generous and juicy palate with hints of spice and smooth elegant tannins giving the wine length and poise. Paired perfectly with fresh pasta or smokey BBQ dishes.
Winemaking
Grapes were harvested from Marlborough’s two winegrowing valleys, the Wairau Valley, and the Awatere Valley at full ripeness. Once received at the winery, they are destemmed to stainless steel tanks for an extended cold soak to allow gentle extraction. Following fermentation, the wines were gently pressed off skins and put into French oak barrels for 11 months prior to blending & bottling.
