Estate-grown at Huapai, in West Auckland, the 2014 vintage (4*) was matured for a year in seasoned oak barrels. Deep and youthful in colour, it is mouthfilling and vibrantly fruity, with concentrated blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, showing good complexity, and fine-grained tannins. The 2015 vintage (4*) is fragrant and full-coloured, with concentrated plum, berry and spice flavours and a firm, lengthy finish. Best drinking mid-2018+.
