Ruby core with garnet hue. Aromas of Red berries and currents mixed with tobacco and leather against a background of fragrant violets. Juicy plums, lackberries and redcurrants intertwined with spicey cider and dried herbs on the palate balanced with elegant dusty tannins, gentle acidity, and a refreshing mineral reprise.
“Light straw with a pale gold green hue and silver flecks. Aromas of pure green apples, lemon, lime leaf with delicate white florals and oyster shell. Mixture of orange and yellow citrus balanced with crisp fresh acidity, river stone minerality that is synonymous with our vineyards. Crunchy stone fruit and lime zest provide a cleansing drive on the finish.” Waipara West
“A complex and textural wine from the gravels of our Waipara riverside home – dense with flavours of summer, fresh citrus, tangerine zest, granny smith and wet river gravels. The palate has silky texture that is balanced by the refreshing acid backbone and cleansing tannins. Flavours follow through from the nose, Kaffir lime, Meyer lemon, crunchy stone fruits and underlying tropical flavours.” Waipara West
“Ruby heart with a red hue. Earth driven aromas mixed with alluring Cherries, lifted violets, underlying black liquorice and hints of woodsmoke. Crunchy and crisp red fruits, savoury Raspberries, and our hallmark minerality are held together with finely woven tannins that provide a velvety texture. The vibrant fruit and acidity accumulate on the palate and give a long, graceful finish.” Waipara West
The youthful exuberance of Wee Angus is revealed through the gentle plummy characters of Merlot. A subtle touch of vanillin oak and a generous finish combine to create the perfect accompaniment to barbequed and char-grilled meats.
