This wine is made of 5 different batches – all having differing winemaking on them, some traditional open top punch downs, whereas some of the batches were kept on skins up to eight weeks. This also has components of stems for added aromatics and structure on the palate. Each batch is aged in barrel separately for 8 months, blended then put back to barrel for another 6 months to homogenise. Sensory Evaluation: Colour: Deep vibrant garnet Aroma: Wonderfully aromatic, classic Hawkes Bay style with lifted floral, berry, pepper, and spice. Palate: Full bodied with fine, firm tannin. Soft boysenberry flavour and lingering toasty oak framed by soft spice
