Puriri Hills Pope is an exceptional Bordeaux blend from Clevedon, Auckland, New Zealand, renowned for its luxurious, estate-bottled red wines. Produced only in outstanding years, the 2020 Pope is a testament to the winery's commitment to quality, marking just the seventh vintage since its inception in 2005. Named in honor of Ivan Pope, a pivotal figure in the vineyard's early days, this wine embodies his legacy. Puriri Hills draws inspiration from the grand crus of Pomerol and St Émilion, with a meticulous winemaking process conducted entirely on the estate. The vineyards, first planted in 1997, now yield a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, crafted into a wine that promises both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging potential.
