Fruit from our Matakana vineyard was fermented in open tanks with frequent hand plunging then matured for 12 months in European and American oak barriques. This robust, stylish red wine, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, has a delightful perfumed aroma with rich cassis flavours and a firm backbone of fruit and oak tannins. Enjoy with red meat or cheese.
A great year for Hyperion from some of the oldest grapevines in Matakana. There’s leather and truffle on the nose and rich fruit in the full bodied palate with a backbone of dusty tannins. It’s a star at the big picture wine experience in Auckland. Sue Courtney

Midas received his golden touch from Dionysus, the mythological god of wine.We have grown Malbec for some years but it has generally been blended into "Kronos". For 2007 we didn't make a "Kronos" so the small vintage was bottled separatetly with the tiny output of only 11 cases.
Fruit from our home block was fermented in open tanks with frequent hand plunging then matured for 12 months in French oak. This pure Malbec has a vibrant aroma of violets and spices with rich, succulent flavours of black doris plums and dark berries balanced by a backbone of fine tannins.
This sumptuous wine, is red with distinctive violet-like florals and rich berry fruit. Sue Courtney

Our premium blend of CabernetMerlot/Malbec is now available. With our usual ratio of 60/30/10% this wine exhibits ripe berry and savoury aromas with rich flavous of blackcurrents and red berries integrated with fine tannins and an earthy complexity.“Deep red-black in colour with a ripe fruit aroma that hints of jelly baby and cherry - later the aroma becomes quite smoky and savoury with deli meat scents and creamy vanillin oak. Just on the medium side of full-bodied in its palate weight, it’s silky textured with a savoury cedary ‘Bordeaux’ character, jelly baby sweetness, hints of liquorice, cinnamon, clove and allspice. Ripe, tending toward luscious on the finish with a dry cedary aftertaste, it is smoky, long and vinously satisfying with excellent length.” Sue Courtney 17/20
