TASTING NOTE:
Brilliant ruby red in colour. Raspberries mingled with warm spices leap from the glass amid dried flowers, hints of white pepper and subtle sweet oak which offers a comforting richness. The fruit remains pure, lingering on the palate with fine tannins, making this wine appealing to all wine drinkers.

WINE ANALYSIS ALCOHOL 12.5
TASTING NOTE:
Pale lemon in colour. Fresh orchard fruits jump from the glass offering peach, apricot and persimmon interlaced with white melon and subtle hints of hazelnut. These characters translate to the palate where they are met with a saline minerality, and a moreish chalky texture. The lemon-fresh acidity and understated sweetness lie in harmony.

TASTING NOTE:
Brilliant, light yellow to pale lime in the glass. Vibrant aromatics of green citrus peel, white florals and oyster shells. Undeniably complex with a fresh, clean and focused palate. Notes of grapefruit pith and kaffir lime leaf have a savoury undertone.

TASTING NOTE:
Deepest crimson red. Brooding aromatically with notes of cassis, black olive, dried tobacco and the faintest hint of roasted hazelnut. The palate is alive with rich, ripe red and black fruit, with a mid-palate that speaks volumes to the warm and long ripening period. A perfect example of a medium-bodied Bordeaux-style blend from the Gimblett Gravels.
HARVEST DATA
VINTAGE DETAIL A warm spring, with minimal frost but a few rain events post-Christmas. A warm start to summer transitioned into a moderate season.

TASTING NOTE:
Burgundy in colour with a light crimson hue. Dried lavender and garigue, distinctly Te Muna perfume on the nose. An elegant palate with a warm core of brambled wild berries, porcini mushroom and red cherry in balance with the silk-laden tannins, which perfectly frame the wine. It speaks volumes to an incredible site.
TE MUNA ROAD VINEYARD, MARTINBOROUGH 2022
GIMBLETT GRAVELS VINEYARD, HAWKE’S BAY 2021
HARVEST DATA

RESIDUAL SUGAR Nil
PH 3.61
ACIDITY 5.6 g/l
TASTING NOTE:
Deep red with a purple hue. Tremendous aromatic lift, with lavender and sweet cherries rising from the glass. The palate has significant density but a perfect balance that already encourages drinking. Again, so much energy in the 2021 wines but also a concentration due to the low yields. Delightful.
