Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Deep ruby red colour. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, red liquorice, and delicate florals show beautifully. The palate is medium bodied with flavours of ripe black fruits, raspberry, anise, pepper, thyme and a thread of vanilla, cinnamon and cedar from oak and fruit. The finish is long with a savoury twist.

A blend of Gimblett Gravels (78%) and Mangatahi (22%) fruit. Predominantly Mass Selection clone (94%), with small amounts of other clones including Baileys, All Saints, 174 and 470. Hand tended; low yielding vines allow for greater concentration in the resulting wine.

100% destemmed but not crushed prior to fermentation. Very gentle extraction with one gentle pump over each day of fermentation. Pressed soon after dryness. Barrel ageing of 14 months in French oak barriques, 35% new."

5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Youthful and perfumed, the enticing bouquet shows Black Doris plum, raspberry, warm spice, game and toasted almond characters, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering fine texture backed by grainy tannins. Superbly structured with graceful power, finishing impressively long and sturdy. At its best: 2026 to 2040."

94/100 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, November 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Layers of wild blackberries, blood plums, cedar and violets on the nose. The full-bodied palate has seamless tannins and textural mouthfeel, giving notes of mulberry bush, tobacco leaves, graphite and dried herbs. Exceptionally well-constructed with a high level of sophistication."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A wine of texture and youth with core aromas and flavours of boysenberry and spice, dark plum and leather, raspberry and violets. There’s layers of wood spice and earth with firm tannins and plenty of aciidty for mouthfeel and length. A lovely example, happy to be your cellar for a while longer with best drinking from early 2026 through 2034+.."

93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Intense, aromatic and fruity aroma with cassis, raspberry and black pepper flavours. supported by vibrant, tangy, high energy tannins. Accessible wine that can be appreciated now or allowed to develop with bottle age."
