From a single vineyard at Rapaura, on the northern side of the Wairau Valley, the 2019 vintage (4*) has deep, purple-flushed colour. Well worth cellaring, it is full-bodied, with strong, fresh, plummy, gently spicy and nutty flavours, a hint of liquorice, supple tannins, and a smooth finish. Best drinking 2022+.
