Description
"Youthful, fragrant and appealing, the bouquet shows plum jelly, dark cherry, floral, mixed spice and subtle black pepper notes, leading to a juicy palate that is nicely rounded and supple. The wine offers charming fruit flavours with silky texture, finishing long and smooth. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2018
Vibrant, dark and classy. Flavours of ripe raspberries and damson plums abound with a distinctive white pepper, anise and sweet spice finish. Enjoy with red meats and strongly flavoured dishes. Medium-bodied, dry, elegant and smooth.
A sense of history hangs in the rafters at the Stables. Built over 100 years ago, the Stables is the heart of the Ngatarawa winery in the Hawke's Bay. And it’s the home of New Zealand’s first family of winemaking, the Corbans. Their 'Stables Reserve' range is a fruit driven varietal collection produced from small parcels of premium grapes from selected vineyards. These food friendly wines have good palate weight and are styled to bring out the true varietal character of the region.
The 2016 growing season was a characterised by a relatively cool Spring, good heat through the mid-Summer with drought conditions in some Eastern areas and variable conditions at harvest. This made for a challenging harvest with picking decisions largely dictated by periodic rain events. However, conditions remained warm throughout the harvest period and all-in-all we were very satisfied with the quality and quantity of grapes received at the winery. Can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 5 years from vintage date.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with contemporary red meat dishes – try venison, lamb and duck.
