"A heady nose, displaying aromas of cedar, warm spices, black cherries and red plums. The savoury overtones and great tannin structure offer a fantastic “juicy” mouthfeel. Seductive and elegant this is a wine which drinks wonderfully now and will age gracefully for a long time to come. "

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Hans Herzog

The Herzog families have grown wine in Switzerland since 1630. Hans Herzog is a graduate of the Wine University of Wädenswil, Switzerland, with a degree in viticulture and a master degree in winemaking, plus the experience of over 40 years as winegrower/winemaker. In 1994, Hans identified a unique piece of land bordering the banks of the Wairau River in Marlborough that would provide all the elements to continue with his tradition of leading the way with new grape varieties. Not influenced by commercial thoughts, he successfully planted Pinot Gris, Viognier and Montepulciano – varieties rarely witnessed in New Zealand at the time.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Montepulciano

Montepulciano is one of Italy's favourite grape varietals. You will most likely see it from from the region of Montepulciano d'Abbruzo of Puglia but it is found across the southern Italian regions. It is known for its lovely dark purple and black fruit flavours.

--------THE REGION--------

Marlborough

New Zealand's answer to Napa Valley, Marlborough accounts for the majority of New Zealand's vines and wine production. Over 75 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sauvignon Blanc and it is where this varietal really shines. The region is also home to New Zealand’s small sparkling-wine industry, using the traditional method to vinify Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
