Don’t be fooled by his look, Mister is a modern Hawke’s Bay love story. The love of the grape, the land, the adventure and the road that led you there.

"Attractive aromas of dark cherry, plum, clove and toasted almond lead to a juicy palate that delivers lovely fruit flavours with fine texture and rounded mouthfeel. The wine offers bright fruit intensity and youthful vibrancy, elegantly structured by fine tannins. A lovely mix of succulent fruit notes with subtle spicy/savoury complexity" Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Food Pairing: This is a supple wine with real drinkability. Match with Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine

Awarded 90/100 Points: Natalie Maclean Wine Reviews & Ratings

"When it comes to quality-to-price ratios, no one does it better than proprietor Jean Marc Lafage" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

"A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache Located just outside of Perpignan, this estate has a wealth of old vines and vineyards to pull from, and the addition of a massive new winery is only going to give them even more control. While it's easy to write off these value-priced releases as fruit bombs, please taste the wines! They have beautiful purity of fruit, impeccable balance and each release has their own unique character. At the prices, these are no-brainers." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Food Pairing: The deep, round and succulent flavours of this wine pair deliciously with with game meats such as venison or duck, offering a truly rich rewarding gourmet experience!
