2023 Chardonnay
Our 2023 Chardonnay was crafted from organic, hand harvested fruit from the Oak Estate vineyard located just over the fence from us. Clone 15.
It was whole bunch pressed and fermented in oak to create a rich and supple chardonnay. Aged in French oak for 10 months prior to bottling the finished wine exhibits a fine balance between fruit flavours and subtle oak toastiness which is velvety and smooth on the palate.
Herringbone Merlot Malbec 2022
This wine was organically grown and hand harvested from our TK Vineyard so only the highest quality fruit was selected. The wine is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Malbec.
After fermentation the wine was aged in French oak for 12 months. The resulting wine is full bodied and smooth with an up front fruitiness backed up with lingering fine tannins providing structure and mouthfeel.
This wine is drinking remarkably well already but will also cellar for up to 10 years.
Herringbone Rosé 2022
This rose was made with 100% merlot grapes from our vineyard. This is a dry style wine with hints of stonefruit and berry balanced with a beautiful fresh acidity. A versatile wine which can be enjoyed on its own or with many types of cuisine such as asian, mexican or the good old kiwi bbq.
This wine exhibits beautiful stonefruit aromas with a hint of spice and luscious strawberries and cream on the palate with a refreshing zesty finish.
Herringbone Syrah 2023
The 2023 Herringbone Syrah was made from 100% hand harvested, Syrah grapes from our vineyard. After fermentation the wine was matured for 12 months in premium French oak barrels and is now ready for release.
This is the perfect wine to share now that the cooler months are upon us. It is smooth on the palate with some lovely plum and berry notes up front and a nice subtle spice to finish.
This wine will continue to improve in the bottle and will cellar well for 7 years but is ready to drink now if you can’t wait!
“Bright and youthfully attractive, the wine shows Black Doris plum, spiced cherry, tar, game and floral aromas on the nose, leading to a gorgeously succulent palate that’s supple and rounded. Elegant and beautifully layered with fine texture and polished tannins, finishing lingering and complex.” Wineorbit
