The classy 2010 vintage (5*) was harvested at 24 brix at Matakana and matured in French oak casks (30 per cent new). Built to last, it is full-coloured, with concentrated blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, seasoned with quality oak. It’s a very stylish, finely crafted wine, with good tannin backbone.
