Craggy Range Te KaHu Merlot Carbernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml

Craggy Range Te KaHu Merlot Carbernet Sauvignon 750ml

Te Kahu means 'the cloak' in te Reo Maori and refers to the mist that envelops Giants Winery in the Tukituki Valley. Legend has it that this mist was used to protect a mythical Maori maiden from the sun as she visited her lover Te Mata. This is a wine of richness and an abundance of black fruit flavours and a long structured finish.

TASTING NOTE

Deepest crimson red. Brooding aromatically with notes of cassis, black olive, dried tobacco and the faintest hint of roasted hazelnut. The palate is alive with rich, ripe red to black fruit, with a midpalate that speaks volumes to the warm and long ripening period. A perfect example of medium-bodied Bordeaux style blends from the Gimblett Gravels.

FOOD MATCH

Braised lamb.

Alc: 13.5%
