Our Estate is often the first wine from Puriri Hills that people taste as it is a favourite of many
fine dining restaurants. Often more approachable and ready to drink a bit younger. It is very
expressive of the vintage year by year.

2019 provided excellent growing conditions, the vintage was characterised by warm
temperatures and limited rainfall. Early summer was wet, though conditions dried out post
veraison and remained warm and dry through harvest. Yield for the vintage was up with ~16
tones picked.

Bob Campbell

95 Points: “A blend of merlot, carmenere, malbec, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Rich,
textural red with cassis, raspberry, blackberry, cedar, dried herb/hedgerow and nutty oak flavours.
Accessible now but with the potential to develop well with bottle age. Seductive wine that gives a
nod in the direction of Bordeaux.” June 2023
