This wine is a blend of grapes grown on the stony soils of the Gimblett Gravels. The vines in the Ngakirikiri, Twyford and Omahu Gravels vineyards are now approaching 20 years of age and are cropped at low levels to produce grapes of the highest possible quality. All this combines to produce a wine with rich aromas of black fruit and fragrant spicy oak in this sumptuous red wine. The palate is full-bodied with incredible concentration of supple, rich ripe fruit, smooth supple tannins, beautifully integrated oak and great complexity.
