Waiheke Road Bordeaux 2021

Produced by us here at Awaroa, but not estate grown. The 2021 vintage (5*) is a rich, refined blend of Merlot (50 per cent), Cabernet Franc (25 per cent), Cabernet Sauvignon (20 per cent), and Petit Verdot (5 per cent). Dark and purple-flushed, it is full-bodied, sweet-fruited and savoury, with generous blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, finely balanced oak, and ripe, supple tannins. Young and very age-worthy, it should be at its best in 2027+.
