Tasting Note: “100% Waiheke coastal single site “The 8 Vineyard”. This wine symbolises the combinations of blood spilt over hundreds of years of tribal conflicts. Blend: cabernet sauvignon 36%, merlot 17%, petit verdot 15.5%, cabernet franc 8.5%, tanned 8.5%, syrah 8%, viognier 3.5%, kolor 3%. A marvellous expression of an eloquent and refined vintage. 16 months 100% new French barriques. Unfined and minimally filtered.
