Gloriously purple, almost glossy in the glass, with heady notes that suggest whole bunch fermentation - mulberries, blackberry compote, violets and even a little bergamot. There's plenty of perfume and daintiness there that's balanced by a core of spice, hint of wood and light tannins. It's simultaneously very drinkable, but very impressive too.

The wine is unfined and unfiltered

 

About the Domaine:

A relatively new name on the New Zealand wine scene, Cabal Estate only came into fruition in 2016 when owner Ed Clifford took over the reins from his father. Whilst Ed's father had been selling the bulk of the estate fruit to winemakers in Waipara for nearly 20 years, Ed wanted to produce their own estate wine too. Pairing up with legendary Kiwi winemaker Theo Coles (the Hermit Ram), the two focus on producing small batches of true-to-terroir, handmade wines. 2016 was their first vintage with just over 500 bottles made.
