I’ve often said that when I die I want this wine piped into my veins instead of embalming fluid. I want to take it with me to the grave it’s that good. 2015 saw superb growing conditions in Hawke’s Bay, the third exceptional year in a row for this national treasure vineyard to shine. The lift of butterscotch, crème brulee, soft grapefruit and peach layers lead to a perfectly pitched palate of elongated, caramelised, spicy oak, succulent citrus and too many other gorgeous things to mention. Say no more.
Sip with: a steaming plate of seared scallops tossed with chorizo.
