Professional Reviews & Awards
5 Stars - The Wine Writer
By Angie Atkinson, 'The Wine Writer'Kahurangi’s Regional Selection wines strive to represent the best varieties from well known NZ wine regions. A blend of 76% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc from the Bridge Pa subregion of the Hawke’s Bay.
Medium ruby with a velvety purple hue. Punchy and complex aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, currant, and oak derived spice with hints of mocha on the nose. A plush mouthfeel with flavours of dark berries, red plum, warming spices and dusty tannins followed by lifted acidity refreshing the palate. Great value for money!
4.5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
By Sam Kim, Wine OrbitIt's attractively fruited and inviting on the nose showing Black Doris plum, floral, bay leaf, game and almond characters. The palate displays supple mouthfeel together with succulent fruit flavours, nicely framed by polished tannins. Well proportioned and elegantly flavoursome with a lengthy juicy finish.
