Tasting highlight
From the prestigious terrains of Hawkes Bay in New Zealand, Villa Maria, a household name in innovation and sustainability in winemaking, presents the Ngakirikiri Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal typically less associated with New Zealand's repertoire.
illa Maria's Ngakirikiri Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a vibrant deep ruby color. The nose is greeted by a rich array of blackcurrant, plum, and cassis, intertwined with nuances of sweet spices, forest floor, and a hint of eucalyptus. Tasting uncovers a full-bodied wine, where lush, ripe dark fruits are supported by structured tannins and a streak of refreshing acidity, resulting in a beautifully balanced and layered palate. The finish is long and elegant, reverberating with subtle spicy and earthy undertones. Whether paired with grilled meats, hearty stews, or mature cheeses, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a harmonious symphony of flavors, showcasing the potential and uniqueness of Hawkes Bay.

Juvan
Rich, soft wine with a deep, deep colour and a purple rim. The nose is dominated by blackcurrant and opaque fruit, with a nuanced whisper of blackberry. The mouthfeel is characterised by blackcurrant, blackberry, and chewy tannins, with a long, satisfying finish.
Aglae
Robust and detailed wine with a deep, dense fruit profile, balanced by subtle oak tones and a accent of herbal whispers on the finish, with a gratifying dryness and a lingering spice.
Toshihisa
A decent drop with potential, still has some life left in it, with dark fruit tones and cedar undertones, but also some floral undertones of violets
