Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Two wines in one! Chill it down for a stylish light red then watch it evolve as it warms to develop a spicy edge and crunchy finish. This is a light and juicy Hawke's Bay blend of Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Merlot designed to be enjoyed lightly chilled.

Specifically designed and named for all the conversations I’ve had over the years selling my wines around the world. It’s also because I love drinking these kinds of wines. Fresh, juicy, chillable reds for a range of occasions. Biogro certified organic from 2022; grab some asap because it’s my favourite drinking right now!

A blend of three varieties from two Biogro certified organic vineyards in Hawke’s Bay. The pinot noir portion is from a site in Maraekakaho that lies inland and at a slightly higher altitude, the vineyard enjoys cool nights and warm days which make it ideal for growing superb grapes with the bright acidity that drives the Crunchy Blend. The Malbec and Merlot portions are from a slightly warmer site in the Bridge Pa triangle. The sunny vineyard enjoys stony, free draining soils, long summers and crisp winters. Picked to retain their fresh natural acidity and pure fruit characters."

91/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, September 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Designed by maker Daniel Brennan to be served chilled, this Hawke’s Bay red has a Pinot Noir portion from Maraekakaho, and picks of Malbec and Merlot from the Bridge Pa triangle. The colour is intense – a shining, vibrantly translucent carmine-ruby red in the glass. If you do chill the wine you’re in for a journey, as the wine starts with a crunch and stab of spiky red fruits, then evolves into a richer, spicy wee beast as it reaches room temperature. Both work, both are good – like a two-for-one combo. The perfume is fresh, packed with juicy cranberry, strawberry and middle-eastern spices. Light-bodied, the palate is driven by a zesty acidity, tannins and phenolics neatly tucked in to the side. A generous finish of good, dry length."
