Bright garnet hue with fresh red fruit aromas of wild strawberry, sweet cherry and raspberry with fragrant potpourri and a touch of cedar. The vibrant fruit and intriguing spice layer wonderfully with the silky fine tannins and creamy texture highlighted by an electric acidity that gives the wine tremendous energy.

The warmer growing season resulted in an early harvest for the Waitaki creating a beautifully concentrated wine with a touch more tannin than in cooler years, yet still showcasing all the classic Waitaki features.

A wine that is engaging, lithe and fragrant in its youth and will definitely reward cellaring.
