Gisborne had a fantastic season in 2014. A wonderfully long dry summer ensured that both the Merlot and Malbec for this blend reached optimal ripeness. Hand harvested and quickly transported to the winery, the bunches were destemmed into small open fermenters where the ferment was hand plunged three times a day. Once ferment was complete, the wine was pressed off and transferred to a mixture of French, American and Hungarian barriques for malolactic fermentation and maturation. Traditionally fined with fresh egg whites prior to filtration and bottling.
Food Pairing: Perfect with your favourite cut of lamb, beef or duck. Also superb with rich cheeses.
