WINE DESCRIPTION
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.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Puriri Hills Pope, a Bordeaux blend from Clevedon, Auckland, New Zealand, is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship.On the nose, it opens with an alluring bouquet of dark berries, plums, and subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering layers of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and a touch of earthy minerality, framed by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. This luxurious wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like roast lamb, beef Wellington, or aged cheddar. Designed for longevity, the wine can be cellared for 10-15 years, evolving gracefully to reveal even more complexity and depth over time.
