    About Vintage 2012:

    The cooler 2012 vintage yielded a prolonged growing season, albeit with significantly reduced volume. Unusually chilly spring conditions disrupted flowering. However, the consistent warmth of late summer and autumn, characteristic of Marlborough's maritime climate, facilitated optimal grape maturation. Handpicked at a mere 400g per vine, these exceptionally concentrated grapes boast captivating aromas, destined for a truly exquisite fine wine crafted for eternity.

    What The Critics Say
    "A linear and firm red with blackcurrant, iron and cedar aromas and flavors. Violets and lilacs, too. Medium-bodied with racy tannins and a linear finish. Needs some time to soften but a beauty already. From organically grown grapes. A blend of 40% cabernet franc, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot. Drink or hold"
