Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
The aroma is full of juicy plum, dark cherry and mocha with a bright wild thyme note framing the nose.
Flavours and Palate
The flavours from the nose continue with a mouth filling dark cherry and luscious cassis character matched with supple mouth filling tannin that gives a silken textural structure. The savoury cocoa and resinous spices from the oak and whole bunch fermentation help draw the red and blue fruits across palate melding to a complex and concentrated finish.

Central Otago , New Zealand
Central Otago, in New Zealand’s South Island has the distinction of being the most southerly wine region in the world. Amid ravishing landscapes of snow-capped mountains, glittering rivers and deep ravines, this chilly region produces wines of great finesse - with an intensity to match their provenance. Named by Jancis Robinson MW as one of the top 5 new world wine regions, Central Otago produces lush and fragrant Pinot Noir, fine-boned Chardonnay and delicate, precise Pinot Gris.
