Review/Comments

New Zealand's highest-priced wine cask by far, this full-coloured, youthful red was grown in the Bannockburn, Bendigo and Pisa districts, and matured for 11 months in French oak barrels (16% new). Crafted as a premium, rather than typical 'bag-in-box', wine, it is mouthfilling, with good concentration of vigorous, plummy, spicy flavours, and savoury notes adding complexity. (2L cask) $80
