Our Wines

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).

Simply stunning, evocative deep purple, with black fruited aromas, a hint of tar and the classic lift of white pepper.

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.

56% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Malbec from Stags Leap District, Yountville and a vineyard in the foothills of the Vaca Mountains, just south of Stags Leap District. Aged for 20 months in a combination of Allier and Troncais barrels (100% new).

*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.
