Deep ruby colour in the glass. Attractive and fragrant cherry, plum and oak spice aromas. Rich and mouth filling flavours of plum and cherry framed with well-integrated toasty oak. The texture is soft with gentle tannins on the finish. Drinking well now, this wine will reward cellaring for up to five years from the vintage date.

Crushed to tank, the fermentation was warm and swift peaking at 30°C to enhance depth of fruit flavour. The cap was pumped over twice daily until the wine was completely dry. The wine was left on skins for one day post ferment to add softness and then oak aged for 10 months prior to bottling.

Stables Reserve offers a sense of history with its name taken from the original Stables where it all started in the heart of the Hawke’s Bay. Gentle in style, the Stables range evokes life’s simple pleasures – warmth, hospitality and conversation.

Food Pairing: Pair with lamb, venison or rich pork dishes.
