Marsden Bay of Islands Tempranillo (2013)

Grown in Northland and matured for over a year in French oak barriques, the 2013 vintage (4*) has deep, youthful colour. Mouthfilling, with fresh, strong, well-ripened blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, gently seasoned with oak, and a finely textured finish, it’s well worth cellaring; open 2016+.
