Vintage 2021

A finely detailed perfume of red plum, violets, pot pourri, spice and cigarbox unfurls in layers around a core of coulis fruit. The silky, energetic palate is elegant with long, lingering flavours of plum, blackberry, olive and juniper, set against a canvas of fine, sinewy tannin and saline acidity which creates wonderful tension. Fairly concentrated right to the finish, this is still relaxing into its skin and will develop positively in the mid-term. ‘Stephen Wong MW

Crushed dark berries rise on the nose, with dried herbs and a floral lift adding nuance.

The palate is deep and mouth-filling, carried by taut tannins and a thread of spice. A seductive length unfolds slowly, shaped by the Omihi hillsides of the Greystone Vineyard.
