Named by owner Greg Hay after Wet Jacket Arm in Fiordland National Park, it harks back to nature always having the upper hand.  Well the grape gods were smiling on the fruit for this vintage, because its intensely luscious forest floor aromas burst out of the glass and do macarena with cherry, raspberry liquorice, redcurrant and masses of allspice.  Fresh, plucky acidity keeps it buoyant in the mouth and it’s just super sexy.
Sip with: Vietnamese duck salad.
