A full-bodied wine with flavours of brioche and peach supported by sweet spices from the seasoned French oak barrels. Soft and generous with excellent structure, fresh citrus notes are beautifully balanced with ripe peach, apricot, and finely integrated toasty notes. A fresh citrus finish gives a long-detailed ending that keeps giving and giving. Enjoy now or cellar carefully for up to 5 years.

Sourced from old, low-yielding vines from some of the best Hawke’s Bay vineyards in the Bridge Pa triangle and Mangatahi. Machine-harvested. Located on the east coast of the North Island, Hawke’s Bay wine region is one of the warmest wine-growing regions in New Zealand. The long and warm growing season provides for excellent ripening conditions and full flavour development.

Fruit gently pressed with free-run juice is only used in the blend. Barrel fermented in French oak and aged in barrel for ten months, with a further nine months on lees in tank.
