Full Description

An exotic, beautifully evolved expression hailing from a legendary, dry Hawke's Bay growing season.Sourced from silty, stone-laden soils on ancient riverbeds, this highly acclaimed single-vineyard red captures the quintessential essence of premium New Zealand Merlot, balancing luxurious texture with approachable, structural elegance. Colour: Deep, dark cherry-red with a brilliant garnet core. Aroma: A lifted and exotic nose displaying ripe black plum, dark cherry, and mulberry fruit, woven with cedary oak, coffee beans, tobacco, and a fragrant floral lift of dark rose and violets. Palate: Lush, fruity, and beautifully balanced. A succulent core of sweet dark berries and red plums is layered with notes of vanilla, liquorice, and rich chocolate accents. Finish: Exceptionally long, velvety, and fine-grained, concluding with an attractively soft oak spice and savoury nutty persistence. Part of the "Curated Fine Wine Collection :: Taste of Summer" sale on Grays.
