Grown biodynamically by James Millton in Gisborne, this ‘field blend’ of Malbec, Syrah and a splash of Viognier is produced using special herbal, mineral and animal preparations and looking to the laws of nature. No herbicide, insecticide, systemic fungicide or soluble fertilizer was used, also no cultured yeasts or bacteria came within coo-ee of the grape juice. Aged in American oak barrels for 11 months, this vegan-friendly red oozes dried herb, cocoa, red rose and peppery, meaty complexity. A squeak of leathery, minty earthiness elongates the finish.
