We are seeing more and more 2019 Hawkes Bay reds appearing and it is becoming obvious just how good the vintage was. In excellent vintages the quality extends throughout the ranges and wines like this step up to the next level. A blend of 55% Merlot 36% Cabernet Sauvignon 9% Cabernet Franc from Clearview's Te Awanga & SH50 vineyards were separately fermented in open top fermenters for hand plunging through fermentation and aged for 9 months in French oak before assemblage & bottling.
An invitingly dark colour indicates the ripe berry fruit, cassis, almost chocolatey flavours that follow. The palate also indicates the warmth of the vintage offering good depth along with the nicely integrated fine tannins which give completeness. A really satisfying wine.
Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"This wine has satisfying Cabernet aromatics with nicely integrated complexity. The palate retains a freshness with red berryfruit characters. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc."
