The grapes were picked at between 13.5 to 14.0 Baume to produce the fruit flavours that are required to make this great wine. The grapes were fermented in a mixture of vessels to produce as much colour and flavour as possible. Portion of the wine underwent oak during fermentation and once dry, the remaining went to oak until the right balance was achieved. Careful tasting and blending, by Quarisa's winemaker, help produce this wine of style and great value for money.

Robert Mondavi's vision was to elevate Napa to the world stage. In celebration of his achievement, the Napa Tier wines are sourced from distinctive vineyards throughout the Napa Valley and truly express a classic Napa Valley style. Fruit for this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a vineyard in Oakville and Stags Leap as well as from growers with whom the producers have long-term relationships. The combination of different terroirs elicits wonderfully concentrated, expressive wine.

Deep ruby in colour, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with rich, concentrated aromas of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, cocoa, and sweet spices. Soft, chewy tannins lead to a long, lush finish. Ageing select lots in bourbon whiskey barrels enhances the finish of smoke, sweet spice, and cocoa when added to the final blend. A superb accompaniment to bourbon-glazed grilled meats, charcuterie boards, hearty pasta dishes, and strong cheeses.

Very Bordeaux-like, with big, ripe perfumed fruit bouquet showing a cedary edge. Wonderful flavours fill the mouth and are supported by tannins.

Intense brick red with purple hues. Ripe and round blackberries conspire with flavours of plum and cinnamon spice. Notes of brooding red berries and fresh brewed coffee. Impressive length and structure with seductively soft and lingering finish. Try with T-bone steak or any meat off the BBQ. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further cellaring.

This is a wine of great intensity. It has distinctive blackcurrant and cassis fruit flavours. Subtle oak characters of cedar cigar box and spice are also evident. The tannins are fine and elegant - a hallmark of the varietal. The palate is well balanced, complex and fulfilling and lingers on the finish.

A balanced, medium-bodied wine with a gentle palate of juicy blackcurrant fruits, along with subtle coffee and savoury cedar. The wine has a silky smooth mouth feel and a lingering finish.

A soft, round and gloriously fleshy palate delivers flavours of ripe plum, red berries along with subtle liquorice and chocolate, finishing in a smooth and elegant fashion.

Selected for their uniqueness of character and outstanding quality the Reserve Parcel wines represent the finest aspects of each vintage. This Cabernet Sauvignon displays ripe blackcurrant fruit characters and savoury, cedar oak characters from the oak maturation.

First made in 1982, Awatea continues to represent the best of the classic Hawke's Bay Cabernets/Merlot blend. Floral aromas with intense blackberry, currant and dark plum flavours lead to a rich, supple palate with a sustained finish. Awatea will continue to evolve in bottle for ten years from harvest.

The deep crimson colour of Coleraine '21, edged in royal purple, is the first clue to this wine's exceptional character. Pure Hawke's Bay cabernet aromatics leap from the glass - wild blackberry, blackcurrant, thyme, and cedar, all interwoven with that signature Coleraine perfume of fresh roses. The palate precisely balances richness with vibrant energy; modern and varietally expressive, with cassis, raspberry, mocha, spice, and a distinctive minerality that is uniquely 2021. The fruit ripeness is so succulent, it cloaks those profound, chiselled tannins that carry the palate on endlessly. With perfume, power, finesse, and length this is an absolute original. Coleraine '21 is 'The One'.
