A complex nose with cinnamon oak leading to a palate of spicy blackberry, this has good concentration and fruit sweetness right through to the back, where dusty wood and tannins give it a softly grippy, chalky finish. Elegant, ripe, well-balanced and concentrated but not heavily extracted or structured, this will develop some more complexity in the mid-term but is ready to go right out of the gate\" Stephen Wong, The Real Review, Dec 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium red fruits and some earth, spice and leather undertones on the nose call to mind classic Bordeaux. The palate is medium-bodied and pleasantly weighty without being overpowering. Fresh and accessible, but also showing complex structure that speaks to the very talented winemaker behind this release, and the precisely-judged blend of five distinct varietals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, bunches were 100% destemmed and 80% crushed into oak cuves or stainless steel open-top fermenters. Ferments were cold soaked for 4-5 days to allow wild yeast development, then inoculated with oenological yeasts. Total time on skins ranged from 1-3 weeks depending on the varietal, fruit condition and the character desired. Free run wines were put to barrel and marc was lightly basket pressed. All wine was barrel-aged in French oak for ca. 21 months before final blending. The wine was sterile-filtered and bottled under screw cap on the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GreatLittle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50333682008381,"sku":"RAPHMO22","price":110.97,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/26212-1.jpg?v=1747183915","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/puriri-hills-mokoroa-clevedon-bordeaux-blend-2022","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
