"Dense, flavoursome malbec with dark-fleshed plum, tamarillo, sweet herb, spice and floral flavours supported by a backbone of moderately sweet, ripe tannins. An heroic, generously proportioned wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2021

Even for this lighter style, the Malbec colour is quite a dark purple. The nose is grainy, dusty, and edgy with hints of purple flowers and grandma's pasta sauce. A cool, crisp tamarillo hits the back of the nose. The taster could go on and on citing different aromatics. The first notes on the palate are soft growing into a chewy vibrancy and eventually finishing with a juicy persistance. The finish is short, a result of this young wine but it also invites the tasters to come back for more and more as the wine pairs with both subtle dishes and bold flavours. 

Hawke's Bay lies on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The region enjoys dry summers with moderate, cool nights. This wine reflects a Malbec grown in the Bridge Pa appellation on the Heretaunga Plains. The soils are silty-loam, free-draining red metal of mixed alluvial and volcanic origin. The wines tend to reflect more lush fruit and rounder tannins. After a relatively cool spring during flowering there was a bit less fruit on the vine resulting in more concentrated wines. However, the summer wasn't exceptionally hot, so the wines remained relatively elegant and rich without being overripe. There were two clones of Malbec (595 & 1056) grown on 3 different blocks around the Bridge Pa Tringle. 

Picked in late March, the fruit was picked with very modest sugar levels, ranging from 20.5-22.5 Brix. Most of the fruit was destemmed and only lightly crushed to allow the skins to slowly break down during the fermentation. While some fruit was also left as whole bunches to allow for some carbonic maceration. The fruit was then cold macerated for 6 hours on skins before slowly warming the fermenter and alllowing a wild fermentation to kick in. Fermentation lasted 13 days before the wine was then macerated on skins again for an additional 15 days, which also allowed for full malolactic fermentation to take place on skins. The wine was then pressed to tank and settled and again racked off its heavy sediment in early July. As it has become 'nouveau' tradition the wine was evaluated and the decision was made to release this wine for the spring as a 'Nouveau' Wine and bottled in early July 2020 and immediately released to the public.

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
