Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Lifted aromatic notes of Doris plum, dark fruits, chocolate, violet and dusty herbs. The palate is big and fruity with hints of plum, blackberry, spicy oak and subtle herbs and spice. The wine has a big, ripe tannic finish.

The grapes for this wine are sourced predominately from the Tietjen's vineyard in the Hexton Hills appellation of Gisborne. Grown on Kaiti clay loam soil and planted in 2009, the fruit is 100% leaf plucked around the fruit zone and only two canes are laid down to ensure good ripeness, colour and texture in the wine. 20% Merlot was used in the blend from the Briant Vineyard in the Patutahi Plateau."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Vivid hues of purple and magenta with a pink rim lead to a bouquet of ripeness, freshness and fruit power. The fruit aromas and flavours drive the palate of this wine with boysenberry and dark plums, blackberry and chocolate, there’s a fine clay and stone mineral quality and a leesy quality. The use of oak is minimal with little apparent impact other than structure. Fine fruit tannins, decent acid line and a lengthy engaging palate. Best from late 2024 through 2029."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"It's youthfully charming and fragrant on the nose, showing Black Doris plum, blueberry, rich floral, warm spice and toasted almond characters. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity and good weight, splendidly supported by supple texture and rounded tannins, finishing silky and persistent. At its best: now to 2031."
