A great offer from this upcoming Hawkes Bay winery. Best described as a "Powerhouse Malbec blend" – inky dark, mouthfilling, engaging, intense. Enjoyable now but also a worthy contender for the cellar.

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Our powerhouse Gimblett Gravels Malbec dominant blend. This speaks to Daniel's entire career of making Malbec. Pair now with your boldest red wine food matches or age this premium wine for as long as you can resist.

If there’s a ‘big’ wine in my lineup it is this one. But keeping with the Testify mantra, it’s still a wine of purity and elegance and truly the best Hawke’s Bay red I could in each vintage. From the first 2016 rendition I made of purely Malbec, this has evolved to include Syrah. Coming off the certified organic Gimblett Gravels vineyard this wine is intense, structured and quite peppery making for an intriguing experience."

90/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, January 2025 (2020 Vintage)
"The 2020 Testify Red Blend is 80% Malbec, with the balance being Syrah, and the wine is every bit as tenacious as the varieties would indicate. It has forward-thrusting grainy tannins, plenty of acid and fruit that feels deuteragonist where the tannins are concerned, with flowers, berries and licorice to close."
