Not just about the land in which the grapes are grown, but about the history of the infamous people who founded the land.

Working with two of the world's great wine varieties grown in one of the world's great red wine regions provides a special foundation for any winemaker. The result is a full flavoured, deliciously indulgent, opulent and warm, dry wine, dark and sweetly fruited with a hint of blackberry and plum, with a big hit of cocoa on the finish. An ideal partner for an antipasto platter featuring a range of salami and smoked meats, or any meaty casserole, like lamb shanks.

Full bodied an opulent with black plum, red berry fruit and dark chocolate flavours. The palate has smooth tannins and a long finish.

Highly expressive, wonderfully complex, a beautifully bold, commanding wine style. Fragrant black plum, fresh berry fruits and cinnamon spice, leading to a silky cocoa centre.

A complex black cassis nose is complemented by lifted varietal and regional notes of mulberry leaf, eucalypt and mint. A chalky, structural wine that shows off the Langhorne Creek region. Leafy varietal characters work well with the plush plummy and cassis fruit.

Hand-crafting wines since 1889.

Gorgeous aromas of bright cherry, blackcurrant and dark plum with toasted oak. A Medium bodied palate with silky tannins and long, ripe fruit and berry aftertaste, with impressive balance of fruit and polished tannins.

Always balanced, full-flavoured and generous in the glass.

On the nose, is a complex amalgam of dark berry fruit, cassis and roasted cocoa bean, lifted by more fragrant aromas of cedar, sandalwood and hints of dried lavender and thyme. The palate is full bodied with firm but fine-grained tannin and great length.

An amalgam of rich, ripe, dark fruit is overlaid with beguiling, lifted aromatics including violet, sandalwood and cedar with hints of dried woody herbs. In contrast to these lifted elements, subtle notes of cacao, vanilla and dried currant bring a luxuriousness to the aroma and flavour profile. Structurally, the wine leads with beautiful fruit weight and richness across the mid palate, typical of good Hawke's Bay Merlot. This is a multidimensional blend that simultaneously shows great depth of dark, brooding flavour whilst expressing a haunting array of gentle perfume - the ultimate expression of great Hawke's Bay blends.

The palate offers dark fruits and vanilla with notes of liquorice.

Fresh black cherry and cassis with cedar oak.
