Dark garnet. Ripe red fruits of raspberry and dried cranberry with purple violet notes. Bright and juicy flavours of ripe red cherry and berry fruits sit amongst the clay like structure of the palate. Enjoy now or cellar up to 5 years.

The fruit is harvested from both our eyrie and Falcon vineyards situated in marlborough.

Each batch spends between four & five days soaking in the tank at a cool temperature ~ 10’c before it is prepared for fermentation.
