"Dense, flavoursome malbec with dark-fleshed plum, tamarillo, sweet herb, spice and floral flavours supported by a backbone of moderately sweet, ripe tannins. An heroic, generously proportioned wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2021

Even for this lighter style, the Malbec colour is quite a dark purple. The nose is grainy, dusty, and edgy with hints of purple flowers and grandma's pasta sauce. A cool, crisp tamarillo hits the back of the nose. The taster could go on and on citing different aromatics. The first notes on the palate are soft growing into a chewy vibrancy and eventually finishing with a juicy persistance. The finish is short, a result of this young wine but it also invites the tasters to come back for more and more as the wine pairs with both subtle dishes and bold flavours. 

Hawke's Bay lies on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The region enjoys dry summers with moderate, cool nights. This wine reflects a Malbec grown in the Bridge Pa appellation on the Heretaunga Plains. The soils are silty-loam, free-draining red metal of mixed alluvial and volcanic origin. The wines tend to reflect more lush fruit and rounder tannins. After a relatively cool spring during flowering there was a bit less fruit on the vine resulting in more concentrated wines. However, the summer wasn't exceptionally hot, so the wines remained relatively elegant and rich without being overripe. There were two clones of Malbec (595 & 1056) grown on 3 different blocks around the Bridge Pa Tringle. 

Picked in late March, the fruit was picked with very modest sugar levels, ranging from 20.5-22.5 Brix. Most of the fruit was destemmed and only lightly crushed to allow the skins to slowly break down during the fermentation. While some fruit was also left as whole bunches to allow for some carbonic maceration. The fruit was then cold macerated for 6 hours on skins before slowly warming the fermenter and alllowing a wild fermentation to kick in. Fermentation lasted 13 days before the wine was then macerated on skins again for an additional 15 days, which also allowed for full malolactic fermentation to take place on skins. The wine was then pressed to tank and settled and again racked off its heavy sediment in early July. As it has become 'nouveau' tradition the wine was evaluated and the decision was made to release this wine for the spring as a 'Nouveau' Wine and bottled in early July 2020 and immediately released to the public.

Love it but it stains
Color: Haze Blue, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
I love these but had to knock some stars down for a single reason. They are soft, the material is somehow both substantial and airy at the same time, and a smooth, silky (not satin), cozy texture. The color was exactly as pictured. The envelope style works great to keep my pillows covered. The fabric lays perfectly. I love sleeping on this pillow case. Took two stars off because every single atom of oil on my face stained it immediately and won't come out in the wash. Its not subtle. You can see anywhere my face has been, forever. I don't have some incredibly oily face or hair, I've never had this happen to another pillow case in my life.

Silky and Soothing
Color: Cream, Size: 2 Pack Queen(20"X 30")
I thought I was getting 1 of the queen sized but I got 2. I got these for my Pomeranian's fuzzy pillow. He's always hot and these are very cooling and very good quality. He loves them and are very comfortable for him. They totally transformed his shaggy old pillow. I used the larger body pillow covers to replace the covers I had. They matched my bedspread perfectly. I use 2 body pillows along the exterior wall in my bedroom where there is cold coming through the floor in the winter. I'm sure I will enjoy them in the summer when it's hot too!
