"A truly wonderful wine from this legendary producer. Grenache is what hits you initially on the nose with a range of dried redcurrant, plum and cherry notes but this moves into juicy mulberry and damson flavours from the Syrah and Mourvedre. Juicy and soft on the palate. A real treat!"

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

Stonyridge

Stonyridge Vineyard was created in 1981 by Stephen White who discovered the spot and thought it would be the ideal spot to ripen Bordeaux vines. After extensive research the first vines were planted in 1982 and the rest is history, as they say. In 2000 it was considered equal to the first growths of Bordeaux thanks to the excellent 1996 vintage. In short, the top heads of state have enjoyed their wines along with many of the world's wine lovers.

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

Rhone Red Blend

The Rhone Red Blend is often known as the GSM blend whereby the three main grapes are Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre. In actuality there can be up to 13 grapes made into this blend, by law, in the southern Rhone Valley. You can have lighter and more floral versions of the Rhone Red Blend or have bolder and oakier versions depending where in the world it is made. They are most popular in France, California and Australia.

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

Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island is a 40 minute ferry ride from Auckland's main harbour and has a range of microclimates completely unique to the island. It is the home to many exciting wines but are the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blends and the Syrahs that have put it on the map here and across the world.
