This is a delightfully open and expressive wine you could smell all day. From the glass billow fresh picked cherries, pomegranate seeds, ground white pepper and cinnamon bark. In the mouth the fruit is lively and mouthwatering, its wings pinned by fine, spicy tannins. Light to medium in weight, it closes long and juicy-fruited. A deliciously nuanced drop from an exciting South Island region that’s crying out for roast duck.
