Description
- Oaked
- Doris plum
- Toasted almond
- Polished tannins
Beautifully perfumed with Doris plum, violet, toasted almond, and hints of pepper spice. The gorgeously rounded and supple palate displays lovely fruit purity and polished tannins. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 5 years.
The grapes for this wine came entirely from the Tantallon vineyard in the Hawke’s Bay.
The grapes were harvested from the Tantallon vineyard and transported to the Riverview winery were they were crushed to open topped stainless steel fermentation vessels and inoculated with a range of yeast strains. The ferments were pumped over several times per day until dry and then allowed from 2 to 5 days extended maceration. The wine was then pressed off the skins and some was put to barrel where it was aged for 12 months. The wine was then transported by road tanker to the Katikati winery for final blending and finishing.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with rich winter stews, roast beef, or lasagne.

An excellent wine for an excellent price. Third order of this beauty. I hope the vineyard survived Cyclone Gabrielle.
