Wonderfully ripe & complex
Wine Orbit
Description
Chocolate, Oak, Spice
"Wonderfully ripe and complex, the wine shows aromas of blackcurrant, thyme, game, and cedar on the nose. The palate is equally appealing, with rich fruit intensity, fine texture, and chalky tannins, making it beautifully structured and harmonious, with a persistent, engaging finish. At its best: now to 2034" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2025
The wine has a lovely ruby red colour and exhibits an array of different aromas including damson, violets, dark chocolate, coffee, liquorice and cloves. On the palate the wine is rich and robust with firm tannins coming from both the fruit and the oak. Dark sweet fruits and tar flavours highlight this dense but perfectly balanced Cabernet Franc.
A stunning example of Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Franc from an excellent Hawke’s Bay vintage.
Handpicked on March 27th their Cabernet Franc was de stemmed into small open topped fermenters. The ferments were hand plunged and pumped over to aid in extracting all the flavour and colour from the berries. The wine was pressed to French oak barrels where it spent the next 10 months.
