“…a spellbinding, timeless classic in the making” 99 points, Greg Sherwood, MW

Straw yellow color with greenish reflections, complex aroma with notes of apricot and orange and acacia flowers. Welcoming on the palate thanks to its natural aroma, it has a long persistence.

Petite Sirah is a close relative to Syrah. Like Syrah, it is a dark-coloured grape that yields wines with floral aromas, deep colour and full, rich tannins. To moderate tannins, we fermented the grapes de-stemmed, as whole berries. Aging in twenty-five percent new oak over sixteen months has softened the wine.

Bordeaux... prepared like a Grand Cru. JAMES SUCKLING 93/100: "A delicious, savory red with blackcurrant, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied with fine, round tannins. Fresh and bright. It opens at the end and becomes chewy and intense."

A wine —   structured, complex and delicious  — to enjoy today

Tasting notes: "Deep garnet-purple in color with a violet rim. Nose offers intense blueberry and rasberry notes, freshness of the blackcurrant bud perfectly combined with the spices of the wood (vanilla, toasted aromas).

*Prices in bond* Awatea takes its name from the historic ship, SS Awatea  that sailed the Auckland - Sydney - Wellington route in the late 1930s.  The final blend is aged in new and seasoned French oak for 15 months. 

*Prices in bond* Coleraine ’19 is both Beauty and the Beast, capturing a new depth and power, with an exquisite perfume, and spellbinding enchantment.  A marriage of grace, refinement, strength and power.
